NEET2015ChemistryHaloalkanes and HaloarenesActual
Which of the following reaction(s) can be used for the preparation of alkyl halides? I. C H 3 C H 2 O H + H C l → A n h y d . Z n C l 2 II. C H 3 C H 2 O H + H C l ⟶ III. C H 3 3 C O H + H C l ⟶ IV. C H 3 2 C H O H + H C l → A n h y d . Z n C l 2
Options
- AI III and IV only
- BI and II only
- CIV only
- DIII and IV only
Correct answer
A. I III and IV only
Step-by-step solution
I and IV can be used due to presence of anhydrous ZnCl 2 (III) which gives alkyl halide due to formation of more stable carbocation.
