Question

Which of the following compounds is used to prepare orlon?

Options

• CH₂ = C(CH₃)₂

• CH₂ = CH – CN

• HOOC – (CH₂)₄ – COOH

• H₂C = CH – CH = CH₂

Answer 1

CH₂ = CH – CN

Explanation:

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{\underset{Acrylonitrile}{{n}CH2 = CHCN} ->[Polymerization][Peroxide] [-CH2 - CH -]_{{n}}}\\
\phantom{................................}|\\
\phantom{.................................}\ce{\underset{Orlon/Polyacrylonitrile}{CN}}
\end{array}\]
