Question

An organic compound 1,1-dichioropropane reacts with aicholic KOH to give A of molecular formula C₃H₄. A reacts with mercuric sulphate and dil. H₂SO₄ at 333 K to give B. A on passing through red hot iron tube at 873 K will give C which is a cyclic compound. Identify A, B and C. Explain the reactions.

Answer 1

1. 1,1-dichioropropane reacts with aicholic KOI-I to give propyne (A).

2. Propyne (A) reacts with mercuric sulphate and dil. H₂SO₄ at 333 K to give acetone (B).

3. Propyne (A) on passing through red hot iron tube at 873 K will give mesitylene (C).
