6. What is ‘A’ in the following reaction?

[1]
 SECTION B

* Given Section consists of questions of 2 marks each. [10]

7. Give reasons for the following observations:
The treatment of alkyl chloride with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohol but
in the presence of alcoholic KOH, alkene is the major product.
8. Which compound in each of the following pairs will react faster in SN2 reaction with -OH?
Why?
i. CH 3 Br or CH 3 I.
ii. (CH 3 )3 CCI or CH 3 CI.

9. Give reasons for the following observations:

Haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes towards nucleophillic substitution
reaction.

10. Compound ‘A’ with molecular formula C4 H 9 Br is treated with aq. KOH solution. The rate
of this reaction depends upon the concentration of the compound ‘A’ only. When
another optically active isomer ‘B’ of this compound was treated with aq. KOH solution,
the rate of reaction was found to be dependent on concentration of compound and KOH
both.
i. Write down the structural formula of both compounds ‘A’ and ‘B’.
ii. Out of these two compounds, which one will be converted to the product with
inverted configuration.

11. Draw the structure of major monohalo product in each of the following reactions:

SECTION C

* Given Section consists of questions of 3 marks each. [9]

12. Give reasons for the following:
i. Ethyl iodide undergoes SN2 reaction faster than ethyl bromide.
ii. 2-Butanol is optically inactive.
iii. C-X bond length in halobenzene is smaller than C-X bond length in CH 3 -X.

13. How do you convert:

i. Chlorobenzene to biphenyl.
ii. Propene to I-iodopropane.

[2]
 iii. 2-bromobutane to but-2-ene.

14. tert-Butylbromide reacts with aq. NaOH by SN1 mechanism while n-butylbromide reacts
by SN2 mechanism. Why?

SECTION E

* Given Section consists of questions of 5 marks each. [5]

15. Primary alkyl halide C4H9Br (a) reacted with alcoholic KOH to give compound (b).
Compound (b) is reacted with HBr to give (c) which is an isomer of (a). When (a) is
reacted with sodium metal it gives compound (d), C8H18 which is different from the
compound formed when n-butyl bromide is reacted with sodium. Give the structural
formula of (a) and write the equations for all the reactions.
