KCET2014ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Carbocation as an intermediate is likely to be formed in the reaction :
Options
- AAcetone (+ HCN - OH ) acetonecyanohydrin
- BHexane ( anhy.AlCl / HCl )
- CPropene (+ Cl ₂ hv ) 2-chloropropane
- DEthylbromide (+ ) aq. ( KOH ) ethyl alcohol
Correct answer
B. Hexane ( anhy.AlCl / HCl )
Step-by-step solution
The second reaction involves methyl group migration to the most stable carbocation. In the question, temperature ( 300^ C ) should be mentioned. Acetone cyanohydrin Ethanol
