The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the treatment of glycerol with a small amount of HI or PI3, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Glycerol Structure**: - Glycerol, also known as glycerin, has the molecular formula C3H8O3. Its structure can be represented as: \[ \text{CH}_2\text{OH} - \text{CHOH} - \text{CH}_2\text{OH} \] - It contains three hydroxyl (-OH) groups. 2. **Reaction with HI or PI3**: - When glycerol is treated with hydrogen iodide (HI) or phosphorus triiodide (PI3), the hydroxyl groups can be converted into iodide groups. - The reaction typically involves the substitution of the -OH groups with iodine (I). 3. **Formation of Iodinated Product**: - In the presence of HI, each hydroxyl group in glycerol can be replaced by iodine, leading to the formation of 1,2,3-triiodopropane: \[ \text{CH}_2\text{I} - \text{CHOH} - \text{CH}_2\text{I} \] - However, this product is unstable and can undergo further reactions. 4. **Decomposition of Triiodopropane**: - The triiodopropane can lose iodine to form an alkene. The intermediate can rearrange and lose iodine to form propene (CH3-CH=CH2). 5. **Final Product Formation**: - The propene can then react with another molecule of HI, leading to the formation of 2-iodopropane: \[ \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH(I)} - \text{CH}_3 \] - Therefore, the final product obtained when glycerol is treated with a small amount of HI or PI3 is 2-iodopropane. ### Conclusion: The product obtained when glycerol is treated with a small amount of HI or PI3 is **2-iodopropane**. ---
