In the following reaction ‘ X ’ is CH _ 3 ( CH _ 2 ) _ 4 CH _ 3 → _ HCl _ △ ^ Anhy . AlCl _ 3 X _ majorproduct

Correct answer: B. When n-Hexane is heated with anhydrous AlCl _ 3 and HCl gas at 573K under a pressure of about 30 - 35atm it Isomerises to give a branched chain alkanes. CH _ 3 ( CH _ 2 ) _ 4 CH _ 3 → _ HCl _ △ ^ Anhy . AlCl _ 3 ( CH _ 3 ) _ 2 CHCH _ 2 CH _ 2 CH _ 3 _ 2 - methylpentane + 3 - methylpentane Major product in the above reaction is 2-methylpentane.

In the following reaction ‘ X ’ is CH _ 3 ( CH _ 2 ) _ 4 CH _ 3 → _...

In the following reaction $‘ X ’$ is

${CH}_{3}{\left({CH}_{2}\right)}_{4}{CH}_{3}\mathop{\to}_{\mathop{HCl}_{△}}^{Anhy . {AlCl}_{3}}\mathop{X}_{majorproduct}$

Options

A
B
C ${CH}_{3}{\left({CH}_{2}\right)}_{4}{CH}_{2}Cl$
D $Cl - {CH}_{2} - {\left({CH}_{2}\right)}_{4} - {CH}_{2} - Cl$

Correct answer

The higher concentration of which gas in air can cause stiffnes of flower buds?

Step-by-step solution

When n-Hexane is heated with anhydrous ${AlCl}_{3}$ and $HCl$ gas at $573K$ under a pressure of about $30 - 35atm$ it Isomerises to give a branched chain alkanes.

${CH}_{3}{\left({CH}_{2}\right)}_{4}{CH}_{3}\mathop{\to}_{\mathop{HCl}_{△}}^{Anhy . {AlCl}_{3}}\mathop{{\left({CH}_{3}\right)}_{2}{CHCH}_{2}{CH}_{2}{CH}_{3}}_{2 - methylpentane} + 3 - methylpentane$

Major product in the above reaction is 2-methylpentane.
