NEETChemistryHaloalkanes and HaloarenesMCQ+4 / −1
An organic compound A(C4H9Cl) on reaction with Na/diethyl ether gives a hydrocarbon which on monochlorination gives only one chloro derivative then, A is
- At-butyl chloride
- Bs-butyl chloride
- Ciso-butyl chloride
- Dn-butyl chloride
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
2C4H9Cl+2Na C4H9 - C4H9 + 2NaCl
In C4H9 - C4H9 i.e., (H3C)3C—C(CH3)3 there are primary hydrogens only.
Thus, only one chloro derivative is possible.
