AIIMS 2019 Chemistry Reactions of Alkenes MCQ Question
In the reaction sequence
and respectively are:
and heat
and
and
and
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The reaction sequence begins with the addition of HOCl to ethylene (H₂C=CH₂), yielding a chlorohydrin (H₂C(OH)−CH₂(Cl)). The subsequent treatment with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) facilitates the dehydrochlorination and oxidation of the intermediate, resulting in the formation of ethylene glycol (CH₂OH−CH₂OH), which is compound Y. Other options are not applicable as they do not correspond to the products formed in the given reaction pathway. Understanding the transformation from alkenes to alcohols through halohydrin formation and subsequent reactions is crucial in organic chemistry.
