Q 1 :    

The following reaction method

[IMAGE 46]

is not suitable for the preparation of the corresponding haloarene products, due to higher reactivity of halogen, when X is         [2024]

  • F

     

  • I

     

  • Cl

     

  • Br

     

(1)

Fluoro compounds are not prepared by this method due to high reactivity of fluorine.

 



Q 2 :    

Which of the following is suitable to synthesize chlorobenzene?             [2022]

  • Benzene, Cl2, anhydrous AlCl3

     

  • Phenol, NaNO2, HCl, CuCl
