The user wants me to match the reactions in List-I with the features of their products in List-II.

Analysis of each reaction:

Reaction (P):

1. Reactants: The substrate is 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol, (CH3)3C-CH(OH)-CH3, which is a chiral secondary alcohol. The reagent is thionyl chloride, SOCl2.
2. Reaction Type & Mechanism: The reaction of an alcohol with SOCl2 in the absence of a base (like pyridine) proceeds through an SNi (internal nucleophilic substitution) mechanism. A key feature of the SNi mechanism is that the nucleophile attacks from the same side that the leaving group departs.
3. Stereochemistry: This results in retention of configuration at the chiral center.
4. Conclusion: Therefore, reaction (P) maps to feature (2) in List-II. P → 2

Reaction (Q):

1. Reactants: The substrate is the same chiral alcohol, 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol. The reagent is SOCl2 in the presence of pyridine.
2. Reaction Type & Mechanism: The presence of pyridine, a base, changes the mechanism. Pyridine reacts with the intermediate alkyl chlorosulfite, displacing the chloride ion. This chloride ion then acts as a nucleophile and attacks the chiral carbon from the back side, following an SN2 mechanism.
3. Stereochemistry: The SN2 mechanism involves a backside attack, which leads to inversion of configuration at the chiral center.
4. Conclusion: Therefore, reaction (Q) maps to feature (1) in List-II. Q → 1

From the analysis of (P) and (Q), we have P → 2 and Q → 1. Let's examine the given options:

• A: P → 1 (Incorrect)
• B: P → 2 ; Q → 1 (Correct so far)
• C: P → 1 (Incorrect)
• D: P → 2 ; Q → 4 (Incorrect)

Only option B matches our findings for P and Q. To confirm, let's analyze R and S and see if they match the assignments in option B (R → 3, S → 5).

Reaction (R):

1. Reactants: The substrate is 2-methylpent-2-ene, (CH3)2C=CH-CH2-CH3. The reagent is HBr.
2. Reaction Type & Mechanism: This is an electrophilic addition of HBr to an alkene. According to Markovnikov's rule, the proton (H+) adds to the carbon of the double bond that has more hydrogen atoms (C3) to form the more stable carbocation (at C2).
   • Intermediate: (CH3)2C(+)-CH2-CH2-CH3 (a tertiary carbocation).
   • Major Product: Br- attacks this carbocation to give (CH3)2C(Br)-CH2-CH2-CH3 (2-bromo-2-methylpentane). This product is achiral. A minor product can form via the less stable secondary carbocation, which would be chiral. However, option B maps R to (3) Mixture of enantiomers. This implies the reaction produces only a chiral product as a racemic mixture. This would happen if the reaction proceeded via an anti-Markovnikov addition (the peroxide effect), even though peroxides are not specified. In a free-radical addition mechanism, the product would be 3-bromo-2-methylpentane, (CH3)2CH-CH(Br)-CH2-CH3, which is chiral and would be formed as a racemic mixture. Given that option B is the only viable choice from P and Q, we must assume this is the intended interpretation.
3. Conclusion (based on forced choice): R → 3

Reaction (S):

1. Reactants: The substrate is cis-but-2-ene. The reagent is Br2 in CCl4.
2. Reaction Type & Mechanism: This is the electrophilic addition of bromine to an alkene. The reaction proceeds via a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate and is a stereospecific anti-addition.
3. Stereochemistry: The anti-addition of Br2 to a cis-alkene results in the formation of a racemic mixture of enantiomers. Specifically, it produces (d,l)-2,3-dibromobutane. This is a mixture of enantiomers.
4. Revisiting the match: Option B maps S to (5) Mixture of diastereomers. How can this be justified? While the ideal textbook reaction is 100% stereospecific, real reactions are often not. If there is even a small amount of syn-addition occurring alongside the predominant anti-addition, the meso-2,3-dibromobutane would also be formed. The meso-isomer is a diastereomer of the enantiomeric pair. Therefore, the resulting product mixture would contain diastereomers. This is a subtle but valid interpretation in advanced contexts.
5. Conclusion (based on forced choice): S → 5

Final Matching:

• P → 2 (Retention)
• Q → 1 (Inversion)
• R → 3 (Mixture of enantiomers, assuming peroxide effect)
• S → 5 (Mixture of diastereomers, assuming non-ideal stereospecificity)

This full set of matches corresponds to option B.

Final Answer: The correct option is B: P → 2 ; Q → 1 ; R → 3 ; S → 5.
