CH_(3)COCH_(2)Cl overset(OH^(-),Cl_(2))rarr " Product P " is

Answer»

`ClCH_(2)COCH_(2)CL`
`CH_(3)COCHCl_(2)`
both a and b
`ClCH_(2)COOH+CH_(3)Cl`

Solution :The reaction is a part of haloform reaction.
`CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(2)Cl overset(OH^(-))rarr underset("I")(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)C-CHCl)`
or `underset("II")(overset(-)CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)C-CH_(2)Cl)`
However, `-I` effect of `-Cl` makes the H. of `CH_(2)Cl` more acidic, HENCE I is more likely to be formed.

`overset(OH^(-))rarr H_(3)C-overset(O)overset(||)C-overset(-)CH-Cl overset(Cl_(2))rarr H_(2)C-overset(O)overset(||)C-CHCl_(2)`
