Question

Identify 'B' in the following reaction.

\[\ce{C2H6 ->[Br2][AlBr3] A ->[CH3COOAg][\Delta] B}\]

पर्याय

• \[\ce{C2H5COOCH3}\]

• \[\ce{CH3COOC2H5}\]

• \[\ce{C2H5COOC2H5}\]

• \[\ce{CH3COOCH3}\]

Answer 1

\[\ce{CH3COOC2H5}\]

Explanation:

When ethane react with bromine in presence of AIBr₃, it gives 1-bromoethane (A) and then it reacts with CH₃COOAg gives ethyl ethanote (CH₃COOC₂H₅) (B) and silver bromide (AgBr) ppt. is formed as a byproduct in this reaction.

\[\ce{\underset{\text{Ethane}}{C2H6} ->[Br2][AlBr3] CH3 \underset{1-bromoethane (A)}{- CH2 - Br2} ->[CH3COOAg][\Delta] \underset{\text{(B)}}{\underset{\text{Ethyl ethanote}}{CH3COOC2H5}} + AgBr}\]
