Question
CBSEENCH12011236

The order of reactivity of phenyl magnesium bromide (phMgBr) with the following compounds.


  • III > II> I

  • II > I > III

  • I > III > II

  • I > II > III

Solution

D.

I > II > III

Since alkyl group has +I -effect and aryl group has +R - effect, thus, greater the number of alkyl and aryl groups attached to the carbonyl group,  its reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction. Secondly, as the steric crowding on carbonyl group increases, the reactivity decreases accordingly.
therefore, correct reactivity order for reaction with PhMgBr is

Question
CBSEENCH12011086

Which of the following is a correct electron displacement for a nucleophilic reaction to take place? 

Solution

C.

Allylic and benzylic halides show high reactivity towards Sn1 reaction Further, due to greater stabilisation of allyl and benzyl carbocations intermediates by resonance, primary allylic and primary benzylic halides show higher reactivity in Sn1 reactions than other simple primary halides.

Hence, it undergoes nucleophilic reaction readily.
