Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A
    A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
  2. B
    A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
  3. C
    A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
  4. D
    A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Correct answer: D

  1. Identify each named reaction and its typical product

    We match each reaction in List-I with the product obtainable in List-II.


  1. (A) Swarts reaction

    Swarts reaction is used to prepare alkyl fluorides from alkyl chlorides/bromides using metallic fluorides.

    R-Cl / R-Br→AgF, SbF3,etc.R-F\text{R-Cl / R-Br} \xrightarrow{\text{AgF, SbF}_3, \text{etc.}} \text{R-F}R-Cl / R-BrAgF, SbF3​,etc.​R-F

    Therefore, ethyl fluoride is obtained.

    So, A→IVA \to IVA→IV


  1. (B) Sandmeyer's reaction

    In Sandmeyer reaction, an aryl diazonium salt reacts with cuprous salts to give substituted benzene derivatives.

    For cyanation: C6H5N2+Cl−→CuCNC6H5CN\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{N}_2^+Cl^- \xrightarrow{CuCN} \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CN}C6​H5​N2+​Cl−CuCN​C6​H5​CN

    Product is cyanobenzene.

    So, B→IIIB \to IIIB→III


  1. (C) Wurtz-Fittig reaction

    Wurtz-Fittig reaction couples an aryl halide with an alkyl halide in presence of sodium in dry ether.

    Ar-X+R-X+2Na→Ar-R+2NaX\text{Ar-X} + \text{R-X} + 2Na \rightarrow \text{Ar-R} + 2NaXAr-X+R-X+2Na→Ar-R+2NaX

    Example: C6H5Br+C2H5Br+2Na→C6H5C2H5\text{C}_6\text{H}_5Br + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5Br + 2Na \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5C_2\text{H}_5C6​H5​Br+C2​H5​Br+2Na→C6​H5​C2​H5​

    Product is ethyl benzene.

    So, C→IC \to IC→I


  1. (D) Finkelstein reaction

    Finkelstein reaction is halogen exchange, generally converting alkyl chloride/bromide to alkyl iodide using sodium iodide in acetone.

    R-Cl / R-Br→NaI/acetoneR-I\text{R-Cl / R-Br} \xrightarrow{NaI/acetone} \text{R-I}R-Cl / R-BrNaI/acetone​R-I

    Therefore, ethyl iodide is obtained.

    So, D→IID \to IID→II


  1. Final matching

    A−IV,  B−III,  C−I,  D−IIA-IV,\; B-III,\; C-I,\; D-IIA−IV,B−III,C−I,D−II


  1. Compare with options

    This corresponds to Option D.


  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = D

    Derived answer = D

    Hence, they agree.
