Ethylene is converted to X on passing through a mixture of acidified aqueous solution of palladium chloride and cupric chloride. Which of the following reagents readily takes part addition reaction with X

A

`Br_2`

B

HBr

C

HCl

D

HCN

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Wacker process :
`CH_2=CH_2+PdCl_2+H_2O overset(CuCl_2//H^(+))to underset((X))(CH_3CHO)+Pd+2HCl`
Acetaldehyde reacts readily with HCN by undergoing addition reaction:
