Detailed Solution

Solution for the Given Reaction Sequence

Step 1: Dehydrohalogenation (Alcoholic KOH)

  • Reactant: CH₃CH₂Cl (ethyl chloride)
  • Reagent: Alcoholic KOH

Reaction: The reaction with alcoholic KOH leads to the elimination of HCl, forming ethene (CH₂=CH₂) as product A.

CH₃CH₂Cl → CH₂=CH₂ (A)  

Step 2: Addition of Bromine in CCl₄

  • Reactant: CH₂=CH₂ (ethene) (A)
  • Reagent: Br₂ in CCl₄

Reaction: Ethene reacts with bromine to undergo an electrophilic addition reaction, forming 1,2-dibromoethane (CH₂Br-CH₂Br) as product B.

CH₂=CH₂ + Br₂ → CH₂Br-CH₂Br (B)

Step 3: Reaction with Zn/Alcohol

  • Reactant: CH₂Br-CH₂Br (1,2-dibromoethane) (B)
  • Reagent: Zn/Alcohol, followed by heating (Δ)

Reaction: Zinc in alcohol reduces 1,2-dibromoethane to ethyne (C₂H₂) by removing two bromine atoms as ZnBr₂. The final product C is ethyne.

CH₂Br-CH₂Br → C₂H₂ (C)

Final Products

  • A: Ethene (CH₂=CH₂)
  • B: 1,2-Dibromoethane (CH₂Br-CH₂Br)
  • C: Ethyne (C₂H₂)

Answer: The final product C is ethyne (C₂H₂).
