Q65 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Chemistry

The compound that will react most readily with gaseous bromine has the formula:

  • Correct answer
    A
    C3H6
  • B
    C2H2
  • C
    C4H10
  • D
    C2H4

Solution

In gaseous phase, bromine reacts with alkene by free radical allylic substitution reaction.

Here in the given molecules, C3H6 is the alkene as it has degree of unsaturation equals to one. Therefore, it will react readily with bromine in gaseous phase.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
