PhCH_(2)CH_(2)COOH overset(Ag_(2)O)to PhCH_(2)CH_(2)COOAg overset(Br_(2))to PhCH_(2)CH_(2)Br+CO_(2)+AgBr The reaction is known as Hunsdiecker reaction. Choose incorrect statement(s) regarding the Hunsdiecker reaction.

Answer»

A more convenient WAY to preform the Hunsdiecker REACTION is the use of a mixture of acid and mercuric oxide.
Reaction involves radical intermediates.
The yield of bromide increases as `1^(@) "ALKYL" lt 2^(@) "alkyl" lt 3^(@) "alkyl"`.
The reaction starts with decarboxylation.

Solution :Yield increases as `3^(@) "alkyl" lt 2^(@) "alkyl" lt 1^(@) "alkyl"`. Decarboxylation takes place, but in the propagation STEP
