Friedel-Craft's reaction using MeCl and anhydrous AlCl3 will take place most efficiently with:
benzene
nitrobenzene
acetophenone
toluene
The ease of nitration of the following three hydrocarbons follows the order:
II = III = I
II > III > I
III > II > I
I = III > II
Among the alkenes which one produces tertiary butyl alcohol on acid hydration?
CH3-CH2-CH=CH2
CH3-CH=CH-CH3
(CH3)2C=CH2
CH3-CH=CH2
The most likely protonation site in the following molecule is
C-1
C-2
C-3
C-6
A.
C-1
Addition of a proton at C1 results in the formation of tropylium carbocation (i.e. an aromatic species with more stability due to delocalisation of electrons), thus, it is the most reactive site towards protonation.
Addition of proton. at any other carbon atom, interupt in the delocalisation of electrons by disturbing planarity of molecules and hence, makes it less stable. Thus, these all are less reactive towards protonation.
Nitrobenzene on reaction with conc. HNO3/H2SO4 at 80-100°C forms which one of the following products?
1, 2-dinitrobenzene
1, 3-dinitrobenzene
1, 4-dinitrobenzene
1, 2, 4-trinitrobenzene
Some meta-directing substituents in aromatic substitution are given. Which one is most deactivating?
The radical because it has
6p-orbitals and 6 unpaired electrons
7p-orbitals and 6 unpaired electrons
7p-orbitals and 7 unpaired electrons
6p-orbitals and 7 unpaired electrons
Which of the following compounds will not undergo Friedal-Craft's reaction easily?
Cumene
Xylene
Nitrobenzene
Toluene
