Halogen acids react with alcohols to form alkyl halides. The reaction follows a nucleophilic substitution mechanism. What will be the major product of the following reaction.

CH3−CH∣CH3−C∣OHH−CH3+HCl→CH_{3} - \overset{\overset{CH_{3}}{|}}{CH} - \underset{\underset{OH}{|}}{C}H - CH_{3} + HCl\overset{\quad\quad}{\rightarrow}

A

CH3CH∣CH3−C∣ClH−CH3CH_{3}\underset{\underset{CH_{3}}{|}}{CH} - \underset{\underset{Cl}{|}}{C}H - CH_{3}

B

CH3CH∣Cl−C∣CH3H−CH3CH_{3}\underset{\underset{Cl}{|}}{CH} - \underset{\underset{CH_{3}}{|}}{C}H - CH_{3}

C

CH3−C∣Cl∣CH3−CH2CH3CH_{3} - \overset{\overset{CH_{3}}{|}}{\underset{\underset{Cl}{|}}{C}} - CH_{2}CH_{3}

D

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2ClCH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}Cl

Answer

CH3−C∣Cl∣CH3−CH2CH3CH_{3} - \overset{\overset{CH_{3}}{|}}{\underset{\underset{Cl}{|}}{C}} - CH_{2}CH_{3}
