Assertion: Benzyl bromide when kept in acetone water produces benzyl alcohol.
Reason: The reaction follows `S_(N)2` mechanism.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanations of the assertion

C

If the assertion is true but reason is false

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The assertion that on keeping a benzyl bromide in acetone water produces benzyl alcohol is correct. Because `C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)Br` hydrolyses to produce `C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)OH`. This conversion is of `S_(N)2` mechanism.
