- Br
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The depicted reaction is a free radical halogenation. This technique is inappropriate for synthesizing fluoroarenes due to fluorine's extreme reactivity, which impedes reaction control and results in polysubstitution. The free radical in this specific reaction is generated using iron (Fe) metal under dark conditions. For other halogens, the reaction can be managed to yield the desired haloarenes.

Top Questions on reaction mechanism
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Phenol on treatment with \( \mathrm{CHCl_3/aq.\ KOH} \) under refluxing condition, followed by acidification produces p-hydroxy benzaldehyde as the major product and o-hydroxy benzaldehyde as the minor product.
Statement II: The mixture of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and o-hydroxybenzaldehyde can be easily separated through steam distillation.

- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The dipole moment of R–CN is greater than R–NC and R–NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce R–COOH.
Statement II: R–CN hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with SOCl$_2$, followed by the addition of NH$_3$ gives another compound (X). This compound (X) on treatment with NaOCl/NaOH gives a product, that on treatment with CHCl$_3$/KOH/$\Delta$ produces R–NC.
