SECTION-D

Directions (Q. Nos. 29-30) : The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice
and carries 4 marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

29. The substitution reaction of alkyl halide mainly occurs by S N 1 or S N 2 mechanism. Whatever mechanism
alkyl halides follow for the substitution reaction to occur, the polarity of the carbon halogen bond is
responsible for these substitution reactions. The rate of S N 1 reactions are governed by the stability of
carbocation whereas for S N 2 reactions steric factor is the deciding factor. If the starting material is a
chiral compound, we may end up with an inverted product or racemic mixture depending upon the type
of mechanism followed by alkyl halide. Cleavage of ethers with HI is also governed by steric factor and
stability of carbocation, which indicates that in organic chemistry, these two major factors help us in
deciding the kind of product formed.
Answer The following questions :
(a) Out of chlorobenzene and benzyl chloride, which one gets easily hydrolysed by aqueous NaOH and
why?
(b) Predict the stereochemistry of the product formed if an optically active alkyl halide undergoes
substitution reaction by S N 1 mechanism.
