Consider the following sequence of reactions. Z → PCl 5 X → Alc . KOH Y → 2 H 2 O / Δ Conc . H 2 SO 4 Z ' Z ' is
Options
- ACH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH
- B( CH 3 ) 2 C = O
- CNone of these
Correct answer
C. None of these
Step-by-step solution
When CH 3 CHOHCH 3 is reacted with PCl 5 , 2-Chloropropane is formed. Thus, X is 2-Chloropropane CH 3 CHClCH 3 . When CH 3 CHOHCH 3 is reacted with alc. KOH , Propene is formed. Thus, Y is CH 3 - CH = CH 2   . When CH 3 - CH = CH 2 is treated with conc. H 2 SO 4 and H 2 O , 2-Propanol CH 3 CHOHCH 3 is formed. Thus Z is CH 3 CHOHCH 3 .
