Explanation
As refer to the above image, here carbocation is the intermediate. Since it is acid catalysed addition.
Considering the ozonised sites and reduced sites, the most suitable material for the reaction to begin is shown in the above image.
CH3−CH=CH2I+− Cl−→CH3−CHCl−CH2−I
The reaction is electrophilic addition and the product obtained is called Markonikov product.
CH3−CH3(g)+Cl2→C2H5Cl(g)+HCl(g)
Hence, the correct option will be option A
Hint: The acidic strength of a compound is directly proportional to the stability of conjugate base.
Step 1: Compare stability of conjugate base
CHCl3: It break down in solution as-
CHCl3→H++CCl3−
Here, the conjugate base CCl3− is stabilized by the back bonding of carbanion with vacant d-orbitals of Cl.
CHBr3: It break down in solution as-
CHBr3→H++CBr3−
Here, the conjugate base CBr3− is stabilized by the back bonding of carbanion with vacant d-orbitals of Br.
CHI3: It break down in solution as-
CHI3→H++CI3−
Here, the conjugate base CI3− is stabilized by the back bonding of carbanion with vacant d-orbitals of I.
CH(CN)3: It breaks down in solution as-
CH(CN)3→H++C(CN)3−
Here, the conjugate base is stabilized by the −M effect of CN−.
The mesomeric effect dominates on back bonding. So CH(CN)3 has the most stable conjugate base.
Also Cl>Br>I ( Extent of back bonding. )
So CH(CN)3>CHCl3>CHBr3>CHI3 ( Order of stability of conjugate base. )
Step 2: Acidic order
CH(CN)3>CHCl3>CHBr3>CHI3
Final Step: Correct option (D) CH(CN)3.
