Question

Allyl cholride can be distinguished from vinyl chloride by NaOH and silver nitrate test comment.
Alkyl halide reacts with Lithium aluminium hydride to give alkane. Name the attacking reagent which will bring out this change.

Answer 1

Allyl chloride can react with $AgCl$ and $NaOH$ due to the formation of stable carbocation while vinyl chloride does not. So, allyl chloride can be distinguished from vinyl chloride. Hydride ion is an attacking reagent which convert alkyl halide into alkane on reacting with $LiAl{H}_4$ .
