Question

Which of the following compounds will react most readily with bromine in CCl4?
Options
A CH3CH2CH3
B (CH3)3CH
C CH3CH=CH2
Correct Answer
D (CH3)4C
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Bromine in CCl4 reacts readily with alkenes (addition across the double bond), causing decolorization of the reddish-brown bromine solution. Propene (CH3CH=CH2) is an alkene and will react readily. The other compounds are alkanes and will not react with bromine in CCl4 under normal conditions.

Hint

Which compound contains a C=C double bond?
