Which one of the following reactions is expected to readily give a hydrocarbon product in good yields?
Show Hint
Electrolytic reduction of carboxylate salts often leads to the formation of hydrocarbons.
Updated On: Mar 24, 2026
- \( \text{RCOOK} \xrightarrow{\text{Electrolytic}} \text{Br}_2 \)
- \( \text{RCOOK} \xrightarrow{\text{Br}} \)
- \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_3 \xrightarrow{\text{Cl}} \)
- \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CCl} \xrightarrow{\text{C}_2 \text{OH}} \)

- Hydrocarbons
- $\text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{Cl}_2$ (X) $\xrightarrow[\Delta]{\text{NaNH}_2 (2 \text{eq})}$ (Y) $\xrightarrow[\text{(ii) NaBH}_4]{\text{(i) Hg(OAc)}_2/\text{H}_2\text{O}}$ $\text{CH}_3\text{COCH}_3$. (Y) $\xrightarrow[\Delta]{\text{Fe/tube}}$ (Z).
Statement-I : Y gives yellow ppt. with $\text{NaOH}/\text{I}_2$.
Statement-II : Two types of H-atoms and one aromatic ring is present in Z and ratio of Z and X is 1 : 3.
