Question

\(2HC = CH_2\text{Cl}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{A}} \text{NH}_4\text{Cl}\) \(\xrightarrow{\text{B}}\) \(\text{Identify the compounds A and B}\)

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

In organic reactions, identifying the reaction mechanism (like nucleophilic substitution or elimination) helps in predicting the structures of the intermediates and products.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The given reaction involves a compound that undergoes a transformation with ammonia and hydrochloric acid.
Based on the reaction and structure of the products, compound A corresponds to a conjugated alkene, and compound B is a substituted product of a vinyl chloride derivative. Thus, the correct structure for compounds A and B corresponds to option (a).
