CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)-Cl (A) H_2O products Which of the following statements are correct?

JEE Main Chemistry question

=CH--Cl\ (A) products

Which of the following statements are correct?

(A)The product is CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)-OH (I) as the major product.
(B)The product is a mixture of (I) and HO-CH_2-CH=CH-CH_3 (II), with (II) as the major product.Correct
(C)Allyl chloride is reactive by both and mechanisms, but more reactive by the mechanism.Correct
(D)Formation of (II) takes place by an allylic rearrangement.Correct

Answer: (B),(C),(D)

Solution

Compound , 3-chlorobut-1-ene, is an allylic chloride; ionisation of the bond generates an allylic carbocation that is stabilised by resonance delocalisation over two carbons (making allylic halides especially reactive via , in addition to being reactive via as a secondary halide). Hydrolysis
