Question

α-chlorosodium acetate on boiling with aqueous sodium nitrite gives ______.

विकल्प

• nitromethane

• α-chloronitromethane

• nitroethane

• acetyl chloride

Answer 1

Explanation:

a- chlorosodium acetate on boiling with aqueous sodium nitrite gives nitromethane. The reaction can be written as :

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{O}\phantom{.................................}\ce{O}\phantom{........}\\
\phantom{}||\phantom{.................................}||\phantom{........}\\
\ce{CH2-C-ONa +NaNO2-> [O2N-CH2-C-ONa] +NaCl}\\
|\phantom{..................................}\phantom{......................}\\
\ce{Cl\underset{\alpha-\text{chloro sodium acetate }}{   }}\phantom{...........}\ce{\downarrow H2O}\phantom{................}\\
 \phantom{.....................}\ce{\underset{Nitromethane}{CH3-NO2} +NaHCO3}
\end{array}\]
