Exercise

Write a short note on Sandmeyer’s reaction.

Alkyl halides when treated with alcoholic solution of silver nitrite give nitroalkanes, whereas with sodium nitrite they give alkyl nitrites. Explain.

Name the reagent used to bring about the following conversion:

Bromoethane to ethoxyethane

The correct order of increasing reactivity of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{X}$ bond towards nucleophile in the following compounds is,

Name the reagent used to bring about the following conversion:

Cholobenzene to biphenyl

Arrange the following in the increasing order of boiling points:

$\mathrm{a}.1$-Bromopropane
$\mathrm{b}. 2$- Bromopropane
$\mathrm{c}.1$- Bromobutane
$\mathrm{d}.1$-Bromo-$2$-methylpropane

Give reasons:

Alkyl halides are generally not prepared by free radical halogenation of alkane.

Write the structure and $\mathrm{IUPAC}$ name of the major product in the following reaction:
