Question

Identify the name reaction for Swarts reaction and Witting reaction.

• A. Nucleophilic substitution and Electrophilic substitution
• B. Nucleophilic addition and Electrophilic addition
• C. Nucleophilic substitution and Nucleophilic addition
• D. Electrophilic substitution and Nucleophilic substitution

Hint:

Swarts reaction involves substitution and Witting reaction involves addition.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Swarts reaction involves the nucleophilic substitution of an alkyl halide with a metal halide, such as silver chloride, yielding a different alkyl halide. The Witting reaction is a nucleophilic addition process where a phosphorus ylide reacts with a carbonyl compound, producing an alkene.
