What EAS reaction is involved in this reaction?
ANS: 4
ANS: 1-Bromo-4-phenylheptane
What REGIOSELECTIVITY of addition reaction is Involved in this reaction:
ANS: Anti-Markovnikov
In what position the next substituent will be directed in the following reaction:
ANS: III
Give the IUPAC name of this compound:
ANS: 8-Chloro-3-ethyl-2,6,8-trimethyl-5-[2-methylprop-1-yl]-4-[prop-2-yl]undecane
Consider the following reaction. What is the ROLE/FUNCTION of the Indicated molecule in the reaction?
ANS: Nucleophile
ANS: II
HI is stonger acid than HF due to which concept in ARIO?
ANS: HI is stronger acid than HF due to increasing stability. Even though Fluorine is more electronegative
than Iodine, this does not suggest that Fluorine is a much stronger acid. Iodine is bigger compared to
Fluorine making it more stable as a larger atom.
