COMEDK · Chemistry · 25. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Two statements, Assertion and Reason are given. With reference to them, choose the correct option.
Assertion: Hydrolysis of 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane follows \(S_N1\) mechanism which involves 2 steps and the first step is:
Reason: The energy required to cleave C – Br is taken from the energy released due to Inductive effect and hyper-conjugative effect.
- A Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong
- B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- C Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
- D Reason is correct but Assertion is wrong
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The hydrolysis of 2-bromo-2-methylpropane (a tertiary alkyl halide) proceeds via the \(S_N1\) mechanism. The \(S_N1\) mechanism is a two-step process. The first step is the slow, reversible cleavage of the C-Br bond to form a stable tertiary carbocation and a bromide ion. Thus,…
