Question:73
When the nucleophile is attached at the carbon carrying -Cl, due to resonance a stabilised intermediate compound is found. As the is electron withdrawing in nature, the nucleophile will get attached to the benzene ring easily. When the molecule contains more number of

Question:74
tert-Butylbromide reacts with aq. NaOH by mechanism while n-butylbromide reacts by
mechanism. Why?
Answer:
In general, the reaction goes forward by the formation of carbocation. The tert-butyl bromide will form
carbocation by losing the
ion, which is actually stable. Therefore, it reacts with aqueous KOH by
mechanism as:
On the other hand, due to unstable in nature, n-Butyl bromide does not form 1° n-Butyl carbocation by ionization. Therefore, it folows the mechanismof mechanism. This happens through a transition state where
ion form (nucleophilic attack) in the remote side with simultaneous expulsion of
ion from the front side.

Question:95
Primary alkyl halides prefer SN2 mechanism in which a nucleophile attacks at 180? to the halogen atom. A transition state is formed in which carbon is bonded to two nucleophiles and finally halogen atom is pushed out. Below is the mechanism-
Hence, in SN2 mechanism, substitution takes place. Tertiary alkyl halides follow SN1 mechanism. In this case, tert alkyl halides form 3? carbocations. If the reagent used is a weak base then substitution occur while if it is a strong base than instead of substitution elimination occur.
The reagent used is aq. KOH. It is a weak base so, substitution takes place.
As alc. KOH is a strong base, so elimination competes over substitution and alkene is formed
Question:96
Uses of halogen containing compounds are as follows:
Dichloromethane is mainly used as a solvent. Although it can be used as a paint remover, finishing solvent, metal cleaner, propellant in aerosols, solvent in case of drug manufacturing, etc.
Trichloromethane is used as a fat solvent. However, it can be used as solvent for the iodine, alkaloids, and other substances.
Triiodomethane is used as an antiseptic.
But some compounds of this class are responsible for exposure of flora and fauna to more and more of UV light which causes destruction to great extent. These are as follows
(i) Tetrachloromethane
• CCl3 is released into the air and starts depleting the ozone layer in the atmosphere. As a result UV rays will come to the earth easily and humans will get affected. This will cause skin cancer, functional disorder, eye diseases, and also the damage in the immune system. These UV rays not only affect the human but also cause damage to plants, and other animals too.
(ii) Freons
• Freon-113, releases and will move to the top of the atmosphere. Here, it generates Cl atoms in order to damage the ozone layer. As a result of this depletion UV rays enter our atmosphere and become responsible for damage to a great extent.
(iii) p – p’ – Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)
• DDT can not be destroyed and removed from the atmosphere because it is not completely biodegradable. It is soluble in fats and creates a chain. When DDT goes to the body of a human, then it will affect the reproductive system.
In order to get rid of the harmful effects of the following substances, i.e., freons, hydrofluorocarbons, fluorocarbons, we should lower the use of these substances.
Question:97
Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions for these reasons mentioned as follows:
(i) In case of haloarenes, the benzene ring is attached with the lone pair electron of the halogen in resonance. As a result, C-Cl bond acts as a partial double bond and increases the strength of the bond. This bond is difficult to substitute by nucleophilic substitution method. Hence, they usually react less in the above mentioned reaction.
(ii) In case of haloarenes, the hybridized carbon atom is attached to a halogen. An
hybridized carbon atom is more electronegative and it holds the C-Cl pair strongly and forces the C-Cl bond shorter than the haloalkanes.
Method to increase the reactivity:
The reactivity of the aryl halides can be increased when there is an electron withdrawing group at the ortho and para position. This presence of this electron withdrawing group at the above mentioned position withdraws electron density in the benzene ring. As a result, it will be easier for the nucleophile to attack. As a result carbocation is formed through resonance.
So, in case of o- and p-chlorobenzenes, the carbon atom bearing group has a negative charge due to the resonating structure. Therefore, the
group along with the π-electrons of the benzene ring stabilizes the carbon ions. However, none of the resonating structures carries the negative charge along with the carbon atom bearing
group, in case of m-nitrochlorobenzene. Therefore, the negative charge does not stabilize by the nitro group at meta position. However, the p-electrons of the benzene ring stabilize the carbanion. In other words, the carbanions formed from o-nitrochlorobenzene and p-nitrochlorobenzene are more stable than those formed from m-nitrochlorobenzene.
Thus, the presence of electron withdrawing groups at o- and p-positions (but not at m-positions) w.r.t. The halogen atom activates the aryl halides towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.
