Carbocation as an intermediate is likely to be formed in the reaction :

  1. A Acetone \(+\mathrm{HCN} \stackrel{-\mathrm{OH}}{\longrightarrow}\) acetonecyanohydrin
  2. B Hexane \(\stackrel{\text { anhy.AlCl }}{\longrightarrow} / \mathrm{HCl}\)
  3. C Propene \(+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \stackrel{\mathrm{hv}}{\longrightarrow}\) 2-chloropropane
  4. D Ethylbromide \(+\) aq. \(\mathrm{KOH} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow}\) ethyl alcohol
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Hexane \(\stackrel{\text { anhy.AlCl }}{\longrightarrow} / \mathrm{HCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The second reaction involves methyl group migration to the most stable carbocation. In the question, temperature \( 300^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
should be mentioned.

Acetone cyanohydrin


Ethanol
