Alkyl halides and unsaturated aliphatic compounds cannot be simultaneously be obtained.(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question in unit test.The doubt is from Halogenation in division Halogenation of Unit Processes

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) False

The explanation: During Halogen Exchange reaction, the ALKYL halides and unsaturated aliphatic compounds can simultaneously be obtained by treating halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acids, NITRILES, or esters with aliphatic ALCOHOLS and/or ethers in the temperature range 260-320°0 and 700 lb PRESSURE. During the course of the reaction, HYDROGEN chloride is split out, the hydrogen and chlorine coming from adjacent carbon atoms. Under the conditions of reaction, the hydrogen chloride converts the reacting alcohol to the corresponding halide.
