Q. Ethylidene dichloride is obtained by the reaction of excess of $ HCl $ with

MHT CETMHT CET 2009

Solution:

$\underset{\text{acetylene}}{CH \equiv CH}+HCl \to \underset{\text{vinyl chloride}}{CH _{2}= CHCl} \ce{ ->[HCl] } \underset{\text{ethylidene dichloride}}{CH_3CHCl_2}$

[Alkenes due to presence of only $1^{\circ}$ of unsaturation, form only monochloro derivative.]
