Hydrocarbons Question 195

Question: The reaction $ CH_3CH=CH_2\underset{{H^{^{+}}}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{(CO+H_2)}}}CH_3-\underset{COOH}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{CH-CH_3}}}} $ is known as [MP PMT 2002]

Options:

A) Wurtz reaction

B) Koch reaction

C) Clemmensen reduction

D) Kolbe’s reaction

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Koch reaction : (Carboxylation of Alkene) $ CH_3-CH=CH_2\underset{400^{o}C,H_3PO_4}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{Water gas (}CO+H_2)}}}\underset{\text{Isobutyric acid}}{\mathop{CH_3-\overset{COOH}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{CH-}}}}CH_3}} $
