Q.

Ionic reactions with organic compounds proceed through:                                 [2024]
(A) homolytic bond cleavage
(B) heterolytic bond cleavage
(C) free radical formation
(D) primary free radical
(E) secondary free radical
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1 (A) only  
2 (C) only  
3 (B) only  
4 (D) and (E) only  

Ans.

(3)

Ions in organic reaction are generated by heterolytic cleavage of bond. So ionic reactions with organic compounds proceed through heterolytic bond cleavage.

Homolytic bond cleavage results in formation of free radicals.
