Assertion : Reason : Alkyl arly ether...

Assertion :
Reason : Alkyl arly ethers on reaction with halogen acids always from aryl halide due to formation of more stable carbocation.

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct for assertion.

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

D

If both assertion and reason are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Correct reasson : The cleavage of `O-C_(6)H_(5)` bond is difficult due to its partial double bond character and it is always `O-R(O-C_(2)H_(5))` bond which cleaves to give the desired products.

Assertion (A) : tert-butyl bromide undergoes Wurtz reaction to give 2,2,3,3-tertramethylbutane. Reason (R) : In Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides reacts with sodium in dry ether to give hydrocarbon containing double the number of carbon atoms present in the halides.

Assertion alkyl benzene is not prepared by Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene. Reason Alkyl halides are less reactive than acyl halides in Sn reaction.

Assertion : Ethers behave as lewis bases in the presence of mineral acids. Reason : Due to the presence of alkyl groups on the both sides of oxygen atom.

Assertion : Phenol is more reactive than benzene towards electrophilic substitution reaction. Reason: In case of Phenol, the intermediate carbocation is more resonance stabilised.
