Chapter 7, Problem 12PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction that gives the best yield of styrene from the given reactions, is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The reactivity of alkyl halides in the elimination reaction depends upon the stability of carbocation intermediate. The more the stability of carbocation, the higher is the reactivity and the reaction tends to a higher yield.

A student was given from the list of the compounds below A, B and D blindly and asked to identify them all. He treated each of them with Brady's reagent (2,4-ditrophenylhydrazine) and isolated a bright yellow compound for one of them, but the other two gave false negatives. The student reasoned that the false negatives may be due to sterics and, on further thinking, it dawned on him that he might be able to rule out one of the false negatives with the haloform test. What compound did he find compatible with the haloform test? That compound did indeed give a false negative in the Brady test. Which of the other two was positive in the Brady test?   A = haloform B = Brady     A = haloform D = Brady     B = haloform A = Brady     B = haloform D = Brady     D = haloform A = Brady     D = haloform B = Brady
