Question
CBSEENCH12011215

Which of the following reaction (s) can be used for the preparation of alkyl halides?


straight I. space CH subscript 3 CH subscript 2 OH space plus space HCl space rightwards arrow with Anh. ZnCl subscript 2 on top

II. space CH subscript 3 CH subscript 2 OH space plus space HCl space rightwards arrow

III. space left parenthesis CH subscript 3 right parenthesis subscript 3 COH space plus space HCl space rightwards arrow

IV. space left parenthesis CH subscript 3 right parenthesis subscript 2 CHOH space plus space HCl space rightwards arrow with anh. space ZnCl subscript 2 on top

  • I, III and IV

  • I and II

  • Only IV

  • III and IV

Solution

A.

I, III and IV

In the equation (I) and (IV) is the presence of Lucas reagent (HCl + anh.ZnCl2) which on reaction alcohols gives alkyl halides. In equation (III alkyl halides is formed due to SN1 reaction.
