Which of the following is not formed by the addition of 1 mole of HCl to 2-methyl-1,3 cyclohexadiene?

A

3-chloro-1-methylcyclohexene

B

1-chloro-6-methylcylohexene

C

3-chloro-3-methylcyclohexene

D

6-chloro-l-methylcyclohexene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
1-Chloro-6-methylcylohexene is not a product obtained from the addition of HCl to 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene. To answer this question, draw the two resonance structures of both of the allylic carbocations formed by protonation of the double bonds of the starting material (i.e., a total of four resonance structures). Nucleophilic addition of chloride to these carbocations will give the products of this reaction, which will all be allylic chlorides. 1-Chloro-6-methylcylohexene is 6 not an allylic chloride

Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition with many reagents like HX, H_2O , HOCI etc. Except in the case of addition of X_2^(-) in other additions carbocation is formed as intermediate. The rate of such reactions depends on the stability of carbocation. Rearrangements and ring expansion are also common in such reactions. The correct order of reactivity of the following towards electrophilic addition is P) Vinyl chloride Q) Pent-2-ene R) 3-methyl pent-2-ene S) 2,3-dimethyl but-2-ene
