For the reaction given below, which of the following is not a possible product? H ₂ C = CH ₂+ Br ₂(a q) NaCl Products
Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
CH ₂= CH ₂+(a q) Br ₂ NaCl CH ₂- CH ₂- Br The -electrons will attack an electrophile forming the carbocation. Now, the carbocation will be attacked by a nucleophile. Hence, the product will be a mixture of Br - CH ₂- CH ₂- Br , Br - CH ₂- CH ₂- Cl and Br - CH ₂- CH ₂- OH . Hence, Cl - CH ₂- CH ₂- Cl doesn't formed. Thus, the correct option is (4).
