Answer» Correct Answer - C `CH_(3)COOAg + I_(2) rarr CH_(3)I + AgI + CO_(2)` `CH_(3)COOAg + CH_(3)I rarr CH_(3)COOCH_(3) + AgI` (Methyl iodide is most reactive of all the alkyl halides i.e., `CH_(3)Cl, CH_(3)Br, CH_(3)I`) `2CH_(3)COOAg + I_(2) rarr 2AgI + CO_(2) + underset("Methyl ethanoate")(CH_(3)COOCH_(3))` This reaction is known as Birbaum -Simonini reaction |
