Which one of the following statements is wrong?

  1. A Anisole is prepared by reaction between Bromobenzene and Sodium methoxide
  2. B Tert. butyl methyl ether reacts with Conc. HI on heating to form 2–Iodo–2–methylpropane and Methanol by \(S_N1\) mechanism
  3. C Isopropyl methyl ether reacts with Conc. HI to produce isopropyl alcohol and methyl iodide by \(S_N2\) mechanism
  4. D Anisole reacts with Ethanoyl chloride / anhydrous \(\text{AlCl}_3\) in \(\text{CS}_2\) to form 4–Methoxyacetophenone in larger amount
Verified Solution

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…
