Q12 Assertion reason questions

(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a
correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a
correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Assertion : Aromatic 1°amines can be prepared by Gabriel

phthalimide synthesis.
Reason : Aryl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution with anion
formed by phthalimide.
Assertion : Only a small amount of HCl is required in the reduction
of nitro compounds with iron scrap and HCl in the presence of
steam.
Reason : FeCl2 formed gets hydrolysed to release HCl during the
reaction.

Assertion : Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Reason : –NH2 group of aniline reacts with AlCl3 (Lewis acid) to give
acid-base reaction.

Q.25 Read the passage given below and answer the following
questions:

Williamson's synthesis is used for the preparation of symmetrical as

well as unsymmerical ether. It is SN2 reaction mechanism. In
Williamson's synthesis, 1° alkyl halides are used for preparation of
ethers because 2° and 3° alkyl halides give alkene. Ethers are cleaved
by hydrogen halides to alcohol and alkyl halide where alkyl halide is
corresponding to that alkyl which has less number of carbon atom
(it is because of less steric hindrance). In polar media
unsymmetrical ether like tertiary butyl ethyl ether gives ethyl
alcohol and tertiary butyl halide as reaction proceeds via
carbocation intermediate.

(I) predict the product of given reaction

(II)predict the product of given reaction

(iii) why is Williamson's synthesis not applicable to tertiary halide?
(iv) How can your convert phenol into an alkyl aryl ether
