Question

An alkane $\left(X\right)$ with its molecular formula $C_{6}H_{14}$ can be obtained by reduction of only two isomeric alkyl chlorides (excluding stereoisomers) $C_{6}H_{13}Cl$ with $Zn$ acid. The alkyl chlorides are

• A. 2-chloro-4-methyl pentane and 3-chloro-2-methyl pentane
• B. 3, 3-dimethyl-1-chlorobutane and 2, 2-dimethyl-3- chlorobutane
• C. 2, 3-dimethyl-1-chlorobutane and 2-chloro-2, 3-dimethyl butane
• D. 2-chlorohexane and 3-chlorohexane

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Correct answer is (c) 2, 3-dimethyl-1-chlorobutane and 2-chloro-2, 3-dimethyl butane
