Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Alcohols are formed when alkyl chlorides are treated with aqueous potassium hydroxide by elimination reaction. Statement (II): In alcoholic potassium hydroxide, alkyl chlorides form alkenes by abstracting the hydrogen from the $ \beta $-carbon. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Propene to 1-Iodopropane
The major product (A) is:
In which of the following reactions, major product is matched correctly?
Total number of nucleophiles from the following is: \(\text{NH}_3, PhSH, (H_3C_2S)_2, H_2C = CH_2, OH−, H_3O+, (CH_3)_2CO, NCH_3\)
In the following substitution reaction:
Br\(_2\)/CS\(_2\)
Draw the structure of the major monohalo product for each of the following reactions:
Nucleophiles attack at that part of the substrate molecule which is electron deficient. The reaction in which a nucleophile replaces an already existing nucleophile in a molecule is called a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Haloalkanes are substrates in these reactions. In this type of reaction, a nucleophile reacts with a haloalkane (the substrate) having a partial positive charge on the carbon atom bonded to halogen. A substitution reaction takes place, and the halogen atom, called the leaving group, departs as a halide ion. Since the substitution reaction is initiated by a nucleophile, it is called a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
