73.
The major product of the following reaction is :
A
B
C
D
Answer :
74.
Ethylene dichloride and ethylidene chloride are isomeric compounds. The false statement about these isomers is that they
A
are both hydrolysed to the same product
B
contain the same percentage of chlorine
C
are position isomers
D
react with alcoholic potash and give the same product
Answer :
are both hydrolysed to the same product
On hydrolysis both gives different compounds.
\[\underset{\text{Ethylene dichlorid}e}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}Cl-C{{H}_{2}}Cl}}\,\xrightarrow{aq.\,KOH}\] \[\underset{\text{Glycol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}OH-C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\]
75.
Which of the following haloalkanes is most reactive?
A
1-Chloropropane
B
1-Bromopropane
C
2-Chloropropane
D
2-Bromopropane
Answer :
2-Bromopropane
The alkyl halides are highly reactive, the order of reactivity is Iodide > Bromide > Chloride ( nature of the halogen atom ).
Tertiary > Secondary > Primary.
Thus, 2-bromopropane is the most reactive.
76.

A
nucleophilic addition
B
free radical addition
C

Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition with hydrogen halide.
77.
Alkyl halides react with metallic sodium in dry ether producing
A
alkanes with same number of carbon atoms
B
alkanes with double the number of carbon atoms
C
alkenes with triple the number of carbon atoms
D
alkenes with same number of carbon atoms
Answer :
alkanes with double the number of carbon atoms
78.
An alkyl chloride produces a single alkene on reaction with sodium ethoxide and ethanol. The alkene further undergoes hydrogenation to yield 2-methylbutane. Identify the alkyl chloride amongst the following compounds.
A
$$ClC{H_2}CH\left( {C{H_3}} \right)C{H_2}C{H_3}$$
B
$$ClC{H_2}C{H_2}C{H_2}C{H_3}$$
C
$$ClC{H_2}CH\left( {C{H_3}} \right)C{H_2}C{H_3}$$
D
$$C{H_3}C\left( {Cl} \right)\left( {C{H_3}} \right)C{H_2}C{H_3}$$
79.

Which of the following is most reactive towards $${S_N}2$$ reaction ?
A
B
C
D
Answer :
4 - nitrobenzyl chloride is likely to react by the $${S_N}2$$ mechanism as the strongly electron-withdrawing nitro group would destabilize the carbocation intermediate of the $${S_N}1$$ mechanism, a benzylic chloride that disfavours the $${S_N}1$$ mechanism.
