The compound (X) on (i) on heating in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 and HCl gas gives 2,4-dimethyl pentane (ii) aromatization gives toluene and (iii) cyclisation gives methyl cyclohexane The correct name of compound (X) is:

  1. Hept-2-ene
  2. Hept-1,3,5-triene
  3. Heptane
  4. Hept-2,4,6-triene

Answer

(3) Heptane

Solution

(i) Isomerisation: n-alkanes on heating with anhydrous AlCl3 and HCl gas give branched alkanes. 2,4-Dimethylpentane is C7H16 ⇒ X is the saturated isomer n-heptane.

(ii) Aromatisation (NCERT): n-heptane [10-20 atm]Cr2O3/V2O5/Mo2O3, 773 K toluene

(iii) Cyclisation of n-heptane gives methylcyclohexane (the first step of aromatisation).

∴ X = heptane.

Answer: (3)
