What does the reaction of vinyl acetylene with HCl produce?
Correct answer: D. Chloroprene
- A. Polyvinyl polymer
- B. Polyvinyl Acetylene
- C. Neoprene
- D. Chloroprene
Explanation
When vinyl acetylene (also known as 1-butyne) reacts with HCl (hydrochloric acid), it undergoes a chemical reaction known as an addition reaction, resulting in the formation of chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene). The reaction can be represented as follows: CH2=CH-C≡CH + HCl → CH2=CH-CCl=CH2 (Chloroprene)

About Alkenes
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon double bond with sigma and pi components and restricted rotation. Their reactions include electrophilic addition of hydrogen, halogens, hydrogen halides and water, with Markovnikov orientation, oxidation, combustion and polymerisation, while their preparation commonly involves elimination from alkyl halides or alcohols.
