Question

Identify the product 'Z' in the following series of reactions.

\[\ce{\underset{}{Ethanol} ->[SOCl2][Δ] \underset{\underset{}{}}{X}->[Mg][Dry ether] \underset{\underset{}{}}{Y}->[NH3] \underset{\underset{}{}}{Z}}\]

विकल्प

• Ethyl chloride

• Ethyl magnesium chloride

• Ethyl amine

• Ethane

Answer 1

Ethane

Explanation:

\[\ce{\underset{Ethanol}{CH3 - CH2 - OH} ->[SOCl2][Δ] \underset{\underset{(X)}{Ethyl chloride}}{CH3 - CH2 - Cl}}\]

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{...............................................................}\ce{Cl}\phantom{}\\
\phantom{}\ce{\underset{\underset{(Y)}{Ethyl magnesium chloride}}{CH3 - CH2 - Mg - Cl} ->[NH3] \underset{\underset{(Z)}{Ethane}}{CH3 - CH3} + \underset{\backslash}{\overset{/}{Mg}}}\phantom{.........}\\
\phantom{..................................................................}\ce{NH2}\phantom{}\\
\end{array}\]
