JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 9. Hydricarbon

The compound (X) on
(i) on heating in the presence of anhydrous \(AlCl_3\) and HCl gas gives \(2,4\)-dimethyl pentane
(ii) aromatization gives toluene and
(iii) cyclisation gives methyl cyclohexane
The correct name of compound (X) is:

  1. A Hept-2-ene
  2. B Hept-1,3,5-triene
  3. C Heptane
  4. D Hept-2,4,6-triene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Heptane

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Compound (X) undergoes isomerization on heating with anhydrous \(AlCl_3\) and HCl gas to give branched-chain alkanes. The formation of \(2,4\)-dimethylpentane (a \(7\)-carbon branched alkane) indicates that (X) is a \(7\)-carbon straight-chain alkane. Aromatization of n-heptane…
