12 Compounds J, K, L and M are isomers of each other with the molecular formula C9H11NO. All four isomers contain a benzene ring. Two of the isomers contain a chiral centre. The results of six tests carried out on J, K, L and M are shown in the table.

PMT P (C6H7N) Q (C3H5O2Na) [2] (c) Isomers J, K, L and M all have the molecular formula C9H11NO. Use the information in (a) to suggest a structure for each of these isomers and draw these in the boxes. Draw circles around all chiral centres in K and L. (d) Compound N is another isomer which has the same molecular formula C9H11NO and also contains a benzene ring. N contains the same functional group as M. When heated with NaOH(aq), N produces ethylamine and a sodium salt W. Suggest the structure of W. [5]UCLES 2017 9701/43/M/J/17 [1] [Total: 14] [Turn over<br />
