A) oxidation, chlorination
B) reduction, chlorination
C) oxidation, addition
D) reduction, substitution
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[Step\,I]{C{{l}_{2}}}C{{H}_{3}}CHO\] The above reaction is an example of oxidation. Due to oxidation, \[-C{{H}_{2}}OH\] group is oxidised to \[-CHO\]group. \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\xrightarrow[Step\,II]{3C{{l}_{2}}}C{{l}_{3}}.C.CHO\] In the second step, chlorination takes place. In chlorination, hydrogen atom changes by chlorine.You need to login to perform this action.
