Which of the following acids will give maximum yield of alkyl bromide in Hunsdiecker reaction?
Options
- AC H 3 - C H 2 - C H 2 - C O O H
Correct answer
A. C H 3 - C H 2 - C H 2 - C O O H
Step-by-step solution
C H 3 - C H 2 - C H 2 - C O O H will give maximum yield of alkyl bromide in Hunsdiecker reaction as in this reaction the yield of the product is as follows 1 ° -alkyl halide > 2 ° -alkyl halide > 3 ° -alkyl halide. R C O O A g + B r 2 → C C l 4 R - B r + C O 2 + A g B r
