Question

Identify the products $X$ and $Y$ formed in the following reaction.
$CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH = CH - CH _{3}+ HCl \longrightarrow X + Y$

• A. $X = CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2Cl$,
• B.
• C.
• D. $X= ClCH _{2}- CH _{2}-= CH - CH _{3}, Y = CH _{3} CH _{2}- CH = CH - CH _{2} Cl$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

When $CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH = CH - CH _{3}$ reacts with hydrocloric acid i.e $HCl$,
$CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH = CH - CH _{3}+ HCl \rightarrow CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH ( Cl )- CH _{2}- CH _{3}$
$+ CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH _{2}+ CH ( Cl )- CH _{3}$
