This Question is from DAT destroyer 2009 #14.
It's about halogenation of ketone in presence of acid.
more like cyclohexanone + Cl2 (excess) ----> product ?
H3O+
The answer has all alpha H's removed and put Cl there.
I thought with acid it only removes one alpha H and with bases it removed all alpha H's. I am confused. may be it's because Cl2 is excess so all H's are removed even for acid???
please help.
