Carbocation as an intermediate is likely to be formed in the reaction :
- A Acetone \(+\mathrm{HCN} \stackrel{-\mathrm{OH}}{\longrightarrow}\) acetonecyanohydrin
- B Hexane \(\stackrel{\text { anhy.AlCl }}{\longrightarrow} / \mathrm{HCl}\)
- C Propene \(+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \stackrel{\mathrm{hv}}{\longrightarrow}\) 2-chloropropane
- D Ethylbromide \(+\) aq. \(\mathrm{KOH} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow}\) ethyl alcohol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Hexane \(\stackrel{\text { anhy.AlCl }}{\longrightarrow} / \mathrm{HCl}\)
