Identify the compound which gives an optically active haloalkane on reaction with \(\mathrm{H}_2\) / Ni on heating.
- A C
- B D
- C B
- D A
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) B
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(H_2\)/Ni reduces the double bond to give a haloalkane. The product is optically active only if it contains a chiral centre (4 different groups on the Cl-bearing carbon). A (3-chloropent-1-ene): Reduction gives 3-chloropentane. Cl-bearing carbon has two identical \(-CH_2CH_3\)…
