Question

In the above reaction, the products X and Y may be

• A. CH\(2\)=CH-Br, HC=CH
• B. HC=CH,CH\(2\)=CH-NH\(2\)
• C. CH\(2\)=CH-Br, CH\(2\)=CH-NH\(2\)
• D. CH\(2\)=CH\(2\), HC=CH

Hint:

In electrophilic addition reactions, alkenes like CH\(2\)=CH-\(\) can react with HBr to form alkyl halides, and if excess reagents or specific conditions are present, alkynes such as HC=CH can form as well.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- In this reaction, an alkene can undergo an electrophilic addition, typically involving HBr. The products that can be formed in this case are CH\(2\)=CH-Br (an alkene with a halogen atom) and HC=CH (an alkyne, acetylene).
- Therefore, the correct products are CH\(2\)=CH-Br and HC=CH, which corresponds to option (1).
