A

CH 3 CH 3 Br and CH 3 CH 3 Br

B

CH 3 CH 3 Br and CH 3 CH 3 Br

C

CH 3 CH 3 Br and CH 3 CH 3 Br

D

CH 3 CH 3 Br and CH 3 CH 3 Br

Solution

The reaction of ethane () with bromine in the presence of results in the formation of bromoethane (). Since the reaction is a substitution, the correct product is , and the correct option is (c).

A

(i) and (ii)

B

(ii) and (iv)

C

(iii) and (iv)

D

(i) and (iv) Ans. [Bonus] Sol. Wrong framing of questions. Only C C 2 H 5 Cl H CH 3 by reaction with KOH undergo reacemisation. But suitable option is absent therefore BONUS.

Solution

Racemisation occurs in compounds with a chiral carbon, where the hydroxide ion can attack from either side, leading to a mixture of enantiomers. Among the given options, only (iii) and (iv) have chiral carbons, so option (c) is correct.

A

III and IV only

B

I, III and IV only

C

I and II only

D

IV only

Solution

I and IV can be used due to presence of anhydrous ZnCl2 (III) gives alkyl halide due to formation of more stable carbocation.

A

Benzene, Cl2, anhydrous FeCl3

B

Phenol, NaNO2, HCl, CuCl

C

, HCl

D

, HCl, Heating

Solution

Benzene reacts with chlorine in presence of anhydrous FeCl 3 to give chlorobenzene

A

p-bromophenol

B

phenol

C

benzene

D

phenylmagnesium bromide

Solution

The reaction sequence involves the formation of a bromobenzene intermediate from benzene diazonium chloride with , followed by conversion to phenylmagnesium bromide with , and finally hydrolysis to give benzene. NCERT XII chapter Haloalkanes and Haloarenes covers this sequence, so option (c) is correct.

Solution

Tertiary alcohols react instantaneously with Lucas reagent and gives immediate turbidity. In case of tertiary alcohols, they form halides easily with Lucas reagent (conc. HCl and ZnCl2)

A

POCl3 and H3PO3

B

POCl3 and H3PO4

C

H3PO4 and POCl3

D

H3PO3 and POCl3

Solution

These reactions are preparation of haloalkanes from alcohols. 3 3 3 (A) 3ROH PCl 3RCl H PO+ ⎯⎯ → + 53 (B) ROH PCl RCl HCl POCl+ ⎯⎯ → + + A and B are H3PO3 and POCl3 respectively.

A

propylamine

B

butylamine

C

butanamide

D

α–bromobutanoic acid

Solution

• Step-I is SN reaction with nucleophile. • Step-II will give amide. • Step-III is Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction.

A

(1) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

(2) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

C

(3) A is true but R is false

D

(4) A is false but R is true

Solution

Sol. Rate of reaction of is faster than .

Because iodine is a good leaving group due to large size of iodine. Which stabilises the ion.
