Q.

N
Correct Answer Explanation (NCERT Logic)
o
More –NO₂ groups on benzene pull electrons and increase
1 (a) a < b < c
SNAr reactivity.
Increase in electron-withdrawing groups increases reaction
2 (a) i < ii < iii
rate.
3 (b) 2, 3 Chiral carbon = bonded to four different groups.
4 (c) iii < i < ii More branching → lower boiling point.
(b) Electrophilic Halogen replaces hydrogen on aromatic ring in presence of
5
substitution FeCl₃.
6 (b) Cl⁺ AlCl₃ generates Cl⁺ which attacks benzene.
(d) X = p-chlorotoluene,
7 FeCl₃ → ring substitution, UV → side-chain substitution.
Y = benzyl chloride
(c) Aryl halides less
8 Strong C–X bond and resonance make them less reactive.
reactive
9 (a) Both correct SN2 occurs in one step → inversion of configuration.
10 (b) A–S, B–R, C–Q, D–P Correct matching of compounds with uses.
11 (b) Oxidising agent Removes HI and drives iodination forward.
12 (a) H⁺ Normal electrophilic addition occurs without peroxide.
13 (c) Wurtz-Fittig reaction Aryl + alkyl halide + Na → alkylbenzene.
14 (b) o-Dichlorobenzene Highest dipole moment → highest boiling point.
(c) CH₃⁻ > NH₂⁻ > HO⁻
15 Higher electronegativity → weaker nucleophile.
> F⁻
16 (a) MeX Least steric hindrance → fastest SN2 reaction.

(a) Hydrolysis with aq.
18 Benzyl chloride is very reactive.
NaOH
19 (b) Chlorobenzene reacts only under drastic conditions.
20 (b) CCl₄ Used earlier as dry-cleaning solvent.
21 (c) Biaryl compound Fittig reaction forms diphenyl.
22 (a) Swarts reaction Best method to prepare alkyl fluorides.
23 (a) Chloroform Used earlier as anaesthetic.
