Complete the following reaction sequence and give the name of major product 'P'. [figure]

  1. 2-Chloropropanoic acid
  2. 3-Chloropropanoic acid
  3. 1-Chloropropane
  4. 2-Chloropropane

Answer

(1) 2-Chloropropanoic acid

Solution

Step 1: alkaline hydrolysis of propanenitrile followed by acidification gives propanoic acid.

Step 2: Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky reaction – Cl2/red P replaces an α-hydrogen by Cl.

[figure]

∴ P = 2-Chloropropanoic acid

Answer: (1)
