A hydrocarbon ' 
on reaction with HCl gives an optically active compound ' Q ' 
which on reaction with one mole of ammonia gives compound ' 
. ' 
on diazotization followed by hydrolysis gives ' S '.
Identify 
and S.
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
For 
to be optically active, it must have a chiral center.
P 
but-2-ene 
(2-chlorobutane, chiral at C-2)
Q 
R: 2-chlorobutane 
(2-aminobutane)
diazotization → hydrolysis → 
-aminobutane 
diazonium salt 
(butan-2-ol)
