MCQ Solution: Hydrocarbons
Consider the following reaction,
Product Z is:
1) CH2=CH2
2) CH3CH2−O−CH2−CH
3) CH3CH2−OSO3H
4) CH3CH2OH
SOLUTION
PBr3 will give SN2 reaction.
C2H5OH--PBr3⟶C2H5Br(X)
Alc.KOH will give elimination reaction and forms the double bond
C2H5Br --Alc.KOH⟶ C2H4(Y)
H2SO4,H3O+ will give electrophilic addition reaction,
C2H4 --H+,OH−⟶ C2H5OH(Z)
