15. Assertion :Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of
haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution
Reason :Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density
over the benzene ring
Section B
16. (a) Aryl chlorides and bromides can be easily prepared by electrophilic substitution of
arenes with chlorine and bromine respectively in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts. But
why does preparation of aryl iodides requires presence of an oxidising agent.
(b) Out of o- and p-dibromobenzene which one has higher melting point and why?
17. (a) Why iodoform has appreciable antiseptic property?
(b) Haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes and haloalkenes Explain.
18. (a) Discuss the role of Lewis acids in the preparation of aryl bromides and chlorides in the
dark
(b) Why is solubility of haloalkanes in water very low?
19. (a) Classify the following compounds as primary, secondary and tertiary halides
(I)1-Bromobut-2-ene (II) 4-Brompent-2-ene (III) 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane
(b) Write down the structure and IUPAC name of neo-pentylbromide
Section C
20. Compound ‘A’ with molecular formula C4H9Br is treated with aq.KOH solution. The rate of
this reaction depends upon the concentration of the compound ‘A’ only. When another
optically active isomer ‘B’ of this compound was treated with aq.KOH solution, the rate of
reaction was found to be dependent on concentration of compound and KOH both
(i) Write down the structural formula of both compounds ‘A’ ad ‘B’
(ii) Out of these two compounds which one will be converted to the product with inverted
configuration.
21. (a) Allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propyl chloride why?
(b) Why is it necessary to avoid even traces of moisture during the use of a Grignard reagent
(c) How do polar solvents help in the first step in SN1 mechanism?
22. Carry out the following conversions
a) Chloroethane to propanoic acid
b) Chloroethane to butane
c) 2iodopropane to 1iodopropane
23. (a) Diphenyls are potential threat to the environment. How are these produced from
arylhalides?
(b)How will you obtain monobromobenzene from aniline?
( c) Predict the major product formed when HCl is added to isobutylene. Explain the
mechanism involved.
