Question

`Ca(OCl)Cl and H_2O` is added to `C_2H_5OH` to get compound A.After that we add `HNO_3` in one pathway X to get a product B .We add `CH_3COCH_3` to A in another separate pathway Y to get product C.What is A,B and C?

Answer 1

`A=>"Chlorofom "CHCl_3`

`B=>"Chloropicrin "C Cl_3NO_2`

`C=>"Chloretone "CH_3C (OH)(C Cl_3)CH_3`

`CH_3CH_2OHstackrel(Ca(OCl)Cl+H_2O)->CHCl_3color(red)([A])+(HCOO)_2Ca+CaCl_2`

Path way `X`

`CHCl_3+HNO_3->C Cl_3NO_2color(red)([B])+H_2O`

Path way `Y`

`CHCl_3+CH_3COCH_3->CH_3C (OH)(C Cl_3)CH_3color(red)([C])+H_2O`
