Explanation / Answer

1. Ans C),CH3I

Methyl and primaryhalides will undergo this reaction by SN2 mechanism.

I-, Br- > Cl-

Here iodine is good leaving group than others.

2. Ans : C) KMnO4

   KMnO4   is used to prepare benzoic acid from toluene.

3. Ans : A). Carbonium ion

Intermediate in the SN1mechanism is Carbonium ion

4. Ans : D) Carbon with 5 bonds

Transition state i the SN2 mechanism is a carbon with 5 bonds.

5. Ans : D) NBS/CCl4

Allylic C-H bond has the least strength therefore this will replace by halogen using NBS.

6. Ans : C) C6H5NH2

7. Ans : B) RX concentration

The rate of SN1 rection os proportional to RX concentration.

8. Ans : D) E2

9. Ans : A) 2

10. Ans : D) I-

11. Ans : E) (CH3)3CBr

12. Ans : D) H2O

13. Ans : D) CH3Cl/AlCl3

14. Ans : E) Br, CH2CH3, NH2

15. Ans : A) RCO+
