Organic Compounds Containing Halogens Question 8
Question: Which of the following is correct-
Options:
A) A on reaction with aq. KOH gives $ HOCH_2CH_2COOK $
B) B can be resolved into d- and l-forms
C) Both [a] and [b]
D) Neither [a] nor [b]
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] The compound A is $ Cl_3C.CH_2.CH_2Cl\xrightarrow{aq.KoH} $
$ {{( OH )}_3}C.CH_2CH_2OH $
$ \xrightarrow{-2H_2O}HOCH_2.CH_2COOK. $ The compounds B is $ Cl_3C-\underset{Br}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{*}{\mathop{C}}}}}H-CH_2Br $ has chiral centre and can be resolved into d- and l- form.
