The compound that will react most readily with gaseous bromine has the formula:
Options
- AC 3 H 6
- BC 2 H 2
- CC 4 H 10
- DC 2 H 4
Correct answer
A. C 3 H 6
Step-by-step solution
In gaseous phase, bromine reacts with alkene by free radical allylic substitution reaction. Here in the given molecules, C 3 H 6 is the alkene as it has degree of unsaturation equals to one. Therefore, it will react readily with bromine in gaseous phase.
