Manipal MET2021ChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes
A set of compound in which the reactivity of halogen atom in the ascending order is:
Options
- Achlorobenzene, vinyl chloride, chloroethane
- Bchloroethane, chlorobenzene, vinyl chloride
- Cvinylchloride, chlorobenzene, chloroethane
- Dvinylchloride; chloroethane, chlorobenzene.
Correct answer
A. chlorobenzene, vinyl chloride, chloroethane
Step-by-step solution
Stability of corresponding carbocation CH ₃ CH ₂ CH ₂= + C H C ₆ H ₅⁺ . So, the correct order of reactivity of halogen atom is chlorobenzene, vinyl chloride, chloroethane.
