Alkyl Halides and Aryl HalidesMedium
Question
Given below are two statements :
Statement-I : 3-phenylpropene reacts with HBr and gives secondary alkyl bromide having a chiral carbon atom as the major product.
Statement-II : Aryl chlorides and aryl cyanides can be prepared by Sandmeyer reaction as well as Gattermann reaction.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Options
A.Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
B.Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
C.Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
D.Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: $3$-phenylpropene $+$HBr with a hydride shift gives a secondary bromide bearing a chiral carbon (Statement-I true); aryl cyanides are not made by the Gattermann reaction (Statement-II false).]
Aryl cyanide is not formed by Gattermann reaction.
