Test: Preparation and Properties of Aryl Halides,Geminal and Vicinal Dihalides - Question 1


Find out and :

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Test: Preparation and Properties of Aryl Halides,Geminal and Vicinal Dihalides - Question 2


The final product of the reaction is :

Detailed Solution: Question 2

The reaction involves the formation of a Grignard reagent by reacting the iodine atom in the compound with Mg in the presence of ether. The Grignard reagent then undergoes an intramolecular nucleophilic addition with the ketone group, leading to the formation of a six-membered cyclic ketone with the fluorinated benzene ring attached. This showcases the utility of Grignard reagents in forming cyclic compounds.

Test: Preparation and Properties of Aryl Halides,Geminal and Vicinal Dihalides - Question 6

Identify in the reaction :

Detailed Solution: Question 6


This reaction is known as Wurtz-Fittig reaction where the alkyl halide reacts with aryl halide with sodium in pressure of dry ether.

Test: Preparation and Properties of Aryl Halides,Geminal and Vicinal Dihalides - Question 7

Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing dipole moment :
(I) Toluene
(II) -dichlorobenzene
(III) -dichlorobenzene
(IV) -dichlorobenzene

Detailed Solution: Question 7

In -dichlorobenzene, the two equal dipoles are in opposite direction, hence the molecule has zero dipole moment. In - and - dichlorobenzenes, the two dipoles are at and apart respectively, and thus according to parallelogram law of forces, the dipole moment of -dichlorobenzene is much higher than that of -isomer. Lastly, toluene with a +I group possesses little dipole moment. Thus the overall order is

Test: Preparation and Properties of Aryl Halides,Geminal and Vicinal Dihalides - Question 8

The product in the following synthetic scheme is

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Chlorobenzene undergoes nitration reaction -nitrochlorobenzene as a major product. It further 4-nitrophenol.

Test: Preparation and Properties of Aryl Halides,Geminal and Vicinal Dihalides - Question 9

Which of the following statements are correct?
A. The bond in chlorobenzene is shorter than in chloromethane.
B. It is difficult to replace chlorine from chlorobenzene than from benzyl chloride.
C. The bond in chlorobenzene has some double bond character.
D. Chlorobenzene on chlorination gives m-dichlorobenzene

Detailed Solution: Question 9


Chlorobenzene has double bond character between and . So, it is difficult to replace form than form benzyl chloride.
(c) has double bond character in chlorobenzene.
(d) Chlorobenzene on chlorination gives -dichlorobenzene due to -directing effect of .
Thus, option (a) is correct.
