Which one of the following statements is wrong?
- A Anisole is prepared by reaction between Bromobenzene and Sodium methoxide
- B Tert. butyl methyl ether reacts with Conc. HI on heating to form 2–Iodo–2–methylpropane and Methanol by \(S_N1\) mechanism
- C Isopropyl methyl ether reacts with Conc. HI to produce isopropyl alcohol and methyl iodide by \(S_N2\) mechanism
- D Anisole reacts with Ethanoyl chloride / anhydrous \(\text{AlCl}_3\) in \(\text{CS}_2\) to form 4–Methoxyacetophenone in larger amount
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Anisole is prepared by reaction between Bromobenzene and Sodium methoxide
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Bromobenzene does not undergo nucleophilic substitution easily due to the partial double bond character of the C-Br bond. Therefore, anisole cannot be prepared by the reaction between bromobenzene and sodium methoxide. Anisole is prepared by Williamson ether synthesis using…
