MCQ
Compound A (molecular formula C5H10) gives only one monochlorinated product. Write the structure of compound A.
- A1-pentene
- B2-pentene
- C1-methyl cyclobutane
- DCyclopentane
Explanation:
Cyclopentane $\xrightarrow{\text{Cl}_2+\text{hv}}$ Cyclopentylchloride
Compound A has molecular formula C5H10.
The degree of unsaturation is 1. It should have either one double bond or should be a cyclic compound. If it has one double bond, then it will give many monochlorinated products.
However, it gives only one monochlorinated product. So, it is a cyclic compound. Thus, it should be cyclopentane.
