Question

An alcohol X (\( C_4H_{10}O \)) reacts with conc. HCl at room temperature to give Y (\( C_4H_9Cl \)). Reaction of X with Cu at 573 K gave Z. What is Z?

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

Heating alcohols with Cu at high temperature leads to dehydration, forming an alkene.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Given Transformations - The first reaction is the treatment of an alcohol with HCl, which converts it into an alkyl halide. - The second reaction involves heating the alcohol with Cu at 573 K, which results in dehydration, leading to the formation of an alkene. Step 2: Identifying the Final Product (Z) - The removal of water from X (butanol) at high temperature leads to the formation of butene. - Since option (2) Alkene corresponds to butene, it is the correct answer.
