Question

Write the major product in the following reaction:

Hint:

UV light can break the C-Cl bond in alkyl chlorides, generating free radicals that lead to elimination reactions.

Answer 1

- The reaction involves ethyl chloride (CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)Cl) in the presence of UV light, which typically promotes a free radical substitution reaction. - The major product of this reaction is ethene (CH\(_2\)=CH\(_2\)) due to the elimination of HCl by the free radicals formed under UV light.
