Magnesium reacts with alkyl halide best ...

Magnesium reacts with alkyl halide best in the solvent :

A

`C_(2)H_(5)OCH_(3)`

B

`C_(6)H_(5)N(CH_(3))_(2)`

C

`C_(2)H_(5)OC_(2)H_(5)`

D

Equally in all.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `C_(6)H_(5)OCH_(3)` the lone pair of electron on oxygen atom is partillary delocalised by the phenyl group. Same in the case with `C_(6)H_(5)N(CH_(3))_(2).` However , it is expected to be the best solvent out of the three.
