The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of an alkyne with 2 moles of HCl, we will follow a step-by-step approach to understand the mechanism and identify the final product. ### Step 1: Identify the Reactant We start with an alkyne, which has the general formula C≡C. Alkynes are characterized by having a triple bond between two carbon atoms. ### Step 2: Reaction with HCl When the alkyne reacts with HCl, it undergoes an electrophilic addition reaction. The HCl dissociates into H⁺ (proton) and Cl⁻ (chloride ion). The alkyne acts as a nucleophile and donates its electrons to the H⁺ ion, leading to the formation of a carbocation. ### Step 3: Formation of Carbocation The addition of H⁺ to one of the carbon atoms of the alkyne results in the formation of a carbocation. The structure of the carbocation can be represented as follows: - One carbon atom has an H attached, and the other carbon atom has a positive charge (C⁺). ### Step 4: Attack by Chloride Ion The chloride ion (Cl⁻) from HCl then attacks the electron-deficient carbocation, leading to the formation of a vinyl halide. The structure of the vinyl halide will have a double bond between the two carbon atoms, with one of the carbons bonded to a chlorine atom and the other to a hydrogen atom. ### Step 5: Second Equivalent of HCl Now, since we have another equivalent of HCl, the vinyl halide formed can react again with HCl. The process is similar: the vinyl halide will again donate electrons to H⁺, forming a new carbocation. ### Step 6: Formation of Germinal Dihalide The chloride ion will attack this new carbocation, leading to the formation of a germinal dihalide. The final product will have two chlorine atoms attached to the same carbon atom, along with the hydrogen atom on the other carbon. ### Final Product The final product of this reaction is a germinal dichloride, which can be represented as: - C-Cl - | - C-Cl - | - H Thus, the final product is a germinal dihalide (dichloride). ### Summary of Steps: 1. Start with an alkyne (C≡C). 2. React with HCl to form a carbocation. 3. Chloride ion attacks the carbocation to form a vinyl halide. 4. React vinyl halide with another HCl to form a second carbocation. 5. Chloride ion attacks the second carbocation to form a germinal dichloride.
