Discuss the role of Lewis acids in the preparation

Question: Discuss the role of Lewis acids in the preparation of aryl bromides and chlorides in the dark. Solution: Aryl bromides and chlorides can be prepared from arenes by electrophilic substitution. This reaction is carried out by treating the arene with chlorine or bromine in the presence of iron (III) chloride in the absence of light. Iron (III) chloride, is a Lewis acid, which generates the electrophile required to take the reaction forward. FeCl3 forms a coordination compound with Cl2, ma...

Haloarenes are less reactive than

Question: Haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes and haloalkenes. Explain. Solution: This is because of the resonance stabilization of the aryl ring. If we take an example of C6H5-Cl, there will be a conjugation of chlorine electrons with the electrons in the ring. This resonance makes C-Cl bond to get partial double bond character and makes less reactive to nucleophilic substitution....

Which of the compounds will react faster

Question: Which of the compounds will react faster in SN1 reaction with the OH ion? CH3 CH2 Cl or C6H5 CH2 Cl Solution: C6H5 CH2 Cl will react faster in an SN1 reaction with the OH- ion. This happens due to the stability of the carbocation in the compound. C6H5 group is already stable due to resonance, and the CH2 attached will gain that stability, thus forming a stable C6H5CH2+ carbocation after the cleavage in the first step of the SN1 reaction....
