Carboxylic Acids Question 122
Question: $ CH_3COOH $ is reacted with $ CH\equiv CH $ in presence of $ H{g^{++}}, $ the product is
[DPMT 2004; BHU 1998]
Options:
A) $ \underset{\underset{CH_2(OOCH_3)}{\mathop{|}}}{\mathop{CH_3(OOCCH_3)}} $
B) $ \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ CH_2-(OOC-CH_3) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH_3}} $
C) $ \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ CH{{(OOC-CH_3)}_2} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH_3}} $
D) None of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ CH\equiv CH+CH_3COOH\xrightarrow{[H{g^{2+}}]} $
$ \underset{Vinylacetate}{\mathop{H_2C=CH-OCOCH_3}}\xrightarrow{CH_3COOH} $
$ \underset{Ethylideneacetate}{\mathop{CH_3-CH{{(O-COCH_3)}_2}}} $ This reaction is an example of addition reaction.
