Which one of the following is most reactive towards aqueous

NaOH

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{Cl}

Option B (

{\mathrm{C}_6}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{Cl}

) is correct because the chlorine atom is attached to a benzylic carbon, which is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution with aqueous NaOH compared to aryl halides.

An alkyl halide reacts with metallic sodium in dry ether. The reaction is known as : In electrophilic substitution reaction of chlorobenzene, the chloro group: Which of the followings statements is/are incorrect? Polymerization of alkenes takes place through Assertion (A): The boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order:

RI > {R B r} > {R C I} > {R F}

.

Reason (R): The boiling points of alkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides are considerably higher than that of the hydrocarbon of comparable molecular mass. Friedel-Craft’s reaction of bromobenzene with methyl iodide gives:
