Assertion : Benzyl bromide when kept in...

Assertion : Benzyl bromide when kept in acetone water it produces benzyle alcohol.
Reason : The reaction follows `S_N2` machanism

A

Assertion is false but reason is true

B

Assertion is true but reason is false

C

Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not a true explanation for assertion

D

Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation for assertion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
On keeping benzyl bromide in acetone water, it produces benzyl alcohol because benzyl bromide is hydrolysed easily by acetone - water . Also, this reaction proceeds by `SN_(2)` mechanism
C - Br bond is replaced with C - O bond
`Ph CH_(2) Br underset("water hydrolysis") overset("acetone") to Ph CH_(2) OH`
