Which of the following statements is/are correct ? |
|
Answer» The compound (B) is (I). (A) is an AMBIDENT nucleophile and a better nucleophile than `(A_(1))` because negative charge is on more EN oxygen atom. In the presence of polar non-PROTIC solvent (DMF, dimethyl formamide), O-alkylation is favoured to give product II (C ). In the pressence of protic solvent, hydrogen bonding with the O atom occurs, THUS reducing the nuclehilicity of oxygen. Therefore, C-alkylation is favoured to give product I (B). |
