Choose the false statement from following.
Options
- AGood yield of alkyl halide may be obtained by heating alcohols with NaI in 95 % H ₃ PO ₄ .
- BConstant boiling HBr (48 %) is used for the preparation of alkyl bromides from alcohols.
- CTertiary alcohol readily react with conc. HCl in absence of zinc chloride.
- DThe order of reactivity of alcohols with a given halo acid 1^ >2^ >3 .
Correct answer
D. The order of reactivity of alcohols with a given halo acid 1^ >2^ >3 .
Step-by-step solution
The correct order of reactivity of alcohols with a given halo acid is 3^ >2^ >1^ . Thus, statement D is false.
