Question

When Glycerol Is Heated With An Excess Of Hi It Produces _________

Answer 1

Answer:

1-When glycerol is warmed with a small amount of HI, allyl iodide is formed.

2-When glycerol is heated with a large amount of HI, the allyl iodide first formed is reduced to propene, which in presence of excess of HI forms isopropyle iodide.

Reaction of glycerol with limited amount of warmed HI gives allyl iodide.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1-When glycerol is warmed with a small amount of HI, allyl iodide is formed. 2-When glycerol is heated with a large amount of HI, the allyl iodide first formed is reduced to propene, which in presence of excess of HI forms isopropyle iodide.
