Sample Questions
Which of the following are methods to prepare alkyl halides from alcohols?
Show answer
Reaction with HX (hydrogen halides), Reaction with phosphorus halides (PX₃, PCl₅), Reaction with thionyl chloride (SOCl₂)
Alcohols can be converted to alkyl halides using HX/ZnCl₂, phosphorus halides, or SOCl₂. Sodium metal and Grignard reagents are used for other reactions.
Which type of alkyl halide is most reactive in SN1 reaction?
Show answer
Tertiary (3°)
Tertiary carbocations are most stable due to +I effect and hyperconjugation, making tertiary halides most reactive in SN1.
The reaction R-X + AgF → R-F + AgX is known as:
Show answer
Swartz reaction
Swartz reaction involves preparation of alkyl fluorides by treating alkyl halides with metal fluorides like AgF.
Which of the following show optical activity?
Show answer
2-Chlorobutane, 2-Bromobutane
Compounds with chiral carbons (four different groups) show optical activity. 1-chlorobutane and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane lack chiral centers.
