Solution
(a) Chlorobenzene reacts with methylchloride in presence of anhydrous aluminiumchloride to give mixture of 1−chloro−4−methylbenzene (major) and 1−chloro−2−methylbenzene (minor) (b) Ethylchloride reacts with potassiumcyanide to form ethylcyanide. CH3−CH2−Cl+KCNΔ−→CH3−CH2−CN+KCl (c) A molecule of HI is added to double bond of propene to form 2−iodopropane . Addition follows Markownikoff's rule. CH3−CH=CH2+HI→CH3−CH(I)−CH3 (d) In presence of sulphuricacid, ethanol reacts with NaBr to form ethylbromide. CH3−CH2−OH+NaBr+12H2SO4→CH3−CH2−Br+H2O+12Na2SO4
