When an aqueous solution of a colourless mixture of two salts is treated with a drop of chlorine water, the solution becomes brown. Some chloroform is added to the brown solution and the resulting mixture is shaken wel. The chloroform layer becomes violet. (ii) When chlorine water is again added dropwise to the above mixture, the chloroform layer becomes colourless. (iii) On being heated with solid K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) and concentrated H_(2)SO_(4), the solid mixture gives vapours of a dark colour which form a yellow solution with aqueous NaOH. On acidification with acetic acid followed by treatment with lead acetate, the yellow solution gives a yellow precipitate. (iv) When boiled with an NaOH solution, the mixture gives a gas that produces thick white fumes with HCl vapours and turns nessler's reagent brown. the mixture does not respond to any other test for cations.

Which one of each pair undergoes S_(N)I reaction readily and why? (ii) CH_(3)0CH_(2)Cl, CH_(3)OCH_(2)CH_(2)Cl.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The PRIMARY carbocation obtained from the C-Cl BOND cleavage of the first compound is considerably stabilised by resonance. Because of this, it undergoes `S_(N)1` reation readily.

The second compound is expected to produce a very unstable carbocation which cannot be stabilized by resonance (`-OCH_(3)` group is not directly attached to the `alpha`-carbon) and for this REASON, it does not undergo `S_(N)1` REACTION.

Why aryl halides undergo electrophilic substitution reactions at o - and p - position ? Why it is less reactive than benzene ?

Answer»

Solution :Haloarenes undergo electrophilic reactions of the benzene ring such as halogenation, NITRATION, sulphonation and Friedel - Crafts reactions. Halogen atom being slightly deactivating is o, p - directing, therefore, further substitution occurs at o - and p - positions with respect to halogen.

DUE to resonance, the electron density increases more at ortho - and para - positions than at META - positions.
The ARYL halides are less reactive than benzene towards electrohilic substitution reactions because the ring it some what deactivated due to `-I` effect of halogens that shows tendency to withdraw electrons from benzene ring. So electrophilic substitution reactions in a haloarenes REQUIRES more drastic conditions.
