Q16 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Chemistry

When \( \mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3} \) reacts with one mole of \( \mathrm{HI} \), one of the products
formed is

  • Correct answer
    A
    ethanol
  • B
    ethanal
  • C
    ethane
  • D
    iodoethane

Solution

\( \mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3} \) reacts with one mole of \( \mathrm{HI} \), one of the products formed is ethanol.
(I) \( \mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}-\ddot{0}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}+\mathrm{H}-1 \)

Vinyl alcohol
1l_{\mathrm{ Tautomeize } }

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