Question

A dihaloalkane 'X' , having formula C3H6Cl2 , on hydrolysis gives a compound, that can reduce Tollen’s reagent. The compound 'X' is (A)  1, 2 -dichloropropane (B)  1, 1 -dichloropropane (C)  1, 3- dichloropropane (D)  2, 2 -dichloropropane

Since, the obtained compound reduces Tollen's reagent, it must be an aldehyde. Thus, it is obvious that both the - Cl atoms are present at C 1. Hence, the compound X is 1, 1-dichloropropane and the, reactions are as follows <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/c03e71809a5ee649b02c93de140aff0c-.png" />

Q. A dihaloalkane $^{'} X^{'}$ , having formula $C_{3} H_{6} C l_{2}$ , on hydrolysis gives a compound, that can reduce Tollen’s reagent. The compound $^{'} X^{'}$ is

$1, 2$ -dichloropropane

$1, 1$ -dichloropropane

$1, 3 -$ dichloropropane

$2, 2$ -dichloropropane

Since, the obtained compound reduces Tollen's reagent, it must be an aldehyde. Thus, it is obvious that both the $- Cl$ atoms are present at $C_{1}$ . Hence, the compound $X$ is 1, 1-dichloropropane and the, reactions are as follows

Q. A dihaloalkane ′X′ , having formula C3​H6​Cl2​ , on hydrolysis gives a compound, that can reduce Tollen’s reagent. The compound ′X′ is

1,2 -dichloropropane

1,1 -dichloropropane

1,3− dichloropropane

2,2 -dichloropropane
