Solve this:
1. Preparation of alkyl halides in laboratory is least preferred by
(a) Halide exchange
(b) Direct halogenation of alkanes
(c) Treatment of alcohols
(d) Addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes
2. An alkyl halide may be converted into an alcohol by
(a) Addition (b) Substitution
(c) Dehydrohalogenation (d) Elimination
Dear Student,
1.Ans:b
2.Ans:b
Alkyl halides are converted into alcohols by substitution reaction. When alkyl halides are treated with aqueous KOH, alcohols are formed. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Equation for the reaction is as follow:-
R-X R-OH
Kindly for remaining query ask in separate thread.
