Question

Identify the product, P in the following reaction :
CH₃ - CH = CH₂ + NOCl → P
(a) CH₃ - CH - CH₂
| |
NO Cl
(b) CH₃ - CH - CH₂
| |
Cl NO
(c) CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂
| |
NO Cl
NO
|
(d) CH₃ - CH₂ - CH
|
Cl

Answer 1

CH3-CH=CH2+HL

ETHOXYTHANE(ETHERS)

....

Answer 2

The product formed is (b) CH₃ - CH - CH₂

Cl NO

• Nitrosyl compound is a special compound in the organic chemistry.
• NOCl reaction involves two steps.
• Dissociation of NOCl into an electrophile NO+ and nucleophile Cl-
• The next step involves breaking of double bond between C C and this leads to attack of NO on to negatively charged Carbon.
• Then the Cl attacks on positively charged Carbon.
• This forms the  CH₃ - CH - CH₂ (Cl)(NO)
