JEE Chemistry 2024 Question with Solution

Given: We need to identify which reaction is correct.

Find: The correct option.

The solution states that each reaction should be checked for correct conservation of mass and charge, proper balanced nature, and whether the transformation is chemically feasible from the given starting materials and conditions.

1. Examine each reaction using reaction-mechanism logic.
2. Verify that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides.
3. Check whether the reaction matches known chemistry principles.

The solution explicitly concludes that Reaction 2 is correct and states that the correct option is B.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

The additional solution note says that the correct reaction is the one shown in Fig 2. It describes addition of HI to the alkene and identifies it as Markovnikov addition, with iodine added to the more substituted carbon.

Therefore, this supports option B as the correct choice.
