Which alkane is most likely to undergo isomerization easily in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride and hydrogen chloride gas?
Options
- An-Pentane
- Bn-Hexane
- Cn-Butane
- Dn-Octane
Correct answer
B. n-Hexane
Step-by-step solution
n-Hexane is more likely to undergo isomerization easily in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride and hydrogen chloride gas because it has a longer carbon chain and more potential for structural rearrangement.
