Give reasons:
The presence of nitro group (–NO2) at o/p positions increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Out of SN1 and SN2, which reaction occurs with
(a) Inversion of configuration
(b) Racemisation
n-Butyl bromide has higher boiling point than t-butyl bromide.
Write the IUPAC name of
Which alkyl halide from the following pair is chiral and undergoes faster SN2 reaction?
Which would undergo SN2 reaction faster in the following pair and why?
Draw the structure of major monohalo product in each of the following reactions: i) ii)
Racemic mixture is optically inactive.
