Question

In the reaction CH3-CH2-OH ->[(i)TsCl][(ii) LiAlH4] X , (X) will be (A) CH2=CH2 (B) CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 (C) CH3-CH3 (D) CH3-CH=CH-CH3

Here the compound X is ethane and formed as follows

C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O H ⟶ T s Cl C H_{3} - C H_{2} - OT s ⟶ L i A l H_{4} C H_{3} - C H_{3}

Hint : It involves substitution followed by reduction.

Q. In the reaction

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O H$ $(i) TsCl (ii) LiAlH X_{4} X$

, (X) will be
