Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryHydrocarbons
When acetylene is passed through red hot iron tube, compound X is formed. Which one of the following reactions will yield X as the major product?
Options
- AC ₆ H ₅ OH + Zn Distillation
- BC ₆ H ₅ SO ₃ H + NaHCO ₃
- CC ₆ H ₁₂+3 H ₂ Ni
- DC ₆ H ₅ Cl + H ₂ O
Correct answer
A. C ₆ H ₅ OH + Zn Distillation
Step-by-step solution
When acetylene is passed through red hot iron tube, benzene is formed as 3 C ₂ H ₂ red hot tube C ₆ H ₆(X) Reaction (a) also gives C ₆ H ₆ (or X ) as C ₆ H ₅ OH + Zn distillation C ₆ H ₆+ ZnO
