Exercise

Predict the stereochemistry of the product formed if an optically active alkyl halide undergoes substitution reaction by ${\mathrm{S}}_{\mathrm{N}}1$ mechanism.

${\mathrm{C}}_5{\mathrm{H}}_{11}\mathrm{Br}+\mathrm{NaOH}\to {\mathrm{C}}_5{\mathrm{H}}_{11}\mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{NaBr}$

The reaction with 1-bromopentane proceeds by an ${\mathrm{S}}_{\mathrm{N}}2$ mechanism. Describe this mechanism using structural formulas and curly arrows to represent the movement of electron pairs.

What is the difference in between allylic halides and benzylic halides?

Write short note on freons.

Write the mechanism of nitration of chlorobenzene.

Brief on account of hybridization in Aryl halides.

Give an example of compounds containing ${\mathrm{sp}}^2\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{X}$ bonds.

Give one example of a vinylic halide.
