NEETChemistryHaloalkanes and HaloarenesMCQ+4 / −1
The following reaction method
is not suitable for the preparation of the corresponding haloarene products, due to high reactivity of halogen, when X is :
- AF
- BI
- CCl
- DBr
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
$\bullet$ Aryl chlorides and bromides can easily be prepared by electrophilic substitution of arenes (toluene) with Cl$_2$ and Br$_2$ respectively in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst (Fe in dark).
$\bullet$ Reaction with I$_2$ is reversible and requires the presence of oxidising agent.
$\bullet$ Corresponding fluoroarene is not prepared by this method due to high reactivity of fluorine. Hence, ‘X’ is F.
