Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`to` Treatment of alkyl halides with aq. KOH leads to the formation of alcohols . Here Nucleophilic substitution reaction takes place.
Eg : `C_(2)H_(5) Cl + "aq." KOH to C_(2) H_(5) OH + KCl`
`to` Treatment of alkyl halides with alc. KOH leads to the formation of alkenes . Here elimination reaction takes place .
Eg : `C_(2)H_(5) Cl + "alc." KOH to C_(2)H_(4) + KCl + H_(2)O`

The oxidation of aryl methyl or cyclo alkyl methyl by the treatment with chromyl chloride to an aldehyde via the formation of esters is known as Etard reaction. The oxidation stops at aldehyde stage because the product of the reaction is acylal, R - CH(OCOCH_3)_2 which is resistance to oxidation with this reagent. The acylal on hydrolysis gives aldehyde.
