Question

An alkane (X) with its molecular formula $C_6{H}_{14}$ can be obtained by reduction of only two isomeric alkyl chlorides (excluding stereoisomers) $C_6{H}_{13}Cl$ with Zn acid. The alkyl chlorides are

• A. 2-chloro-4-methylpentane and 3-chloro-2methylpentane
• B. 3,3-dimethyl-1-chlorobutane and 2,2-dimethyl-3-chlorobutane
• C. 1-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane and 2-chloro-2,3-di-methylbutane
• D. 2-chlorohexane and 3-chlorohexane

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1-chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane and 2-chloro-2,3-di-methylbutane


So, the correct answer will be option (c).
