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 but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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