(b) RCHO+RMgXOH

(c)CCC(C)CBr

(d) CH3CHO+HCNCH3CH(OH)CN

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) Nucleophilic substitution reactions are the most common reactions of alkyl halides.

Because of high electronegativities of the halogen atom, the carbon halogen (CX) is highly polarised covalent bond. Thus, the carbon atom of the CX bond becomes a good site for attack by nucleophiles (electron rich species).
