Question

Give the correct order of initials T of F for following statements. Use T if statement is true and F if it is false.
(a) $SOC{l}_2,PC{l}_3$ and $HCl$ all converts an alcohol into alkyl halide
(b) Mechanism of all the three reagents are identical
(c) Mechanism for $SOC{l}_2$ and $PC{l}_3$ are identical but a differnt mechanism is followed in case of $HCl$
(d) They all are used commercially to convert acetic acid into acetyl chloride

• A. TTFT
• B. TFFF
• C. TFTF
• D. TFFT

Answer 1

The correct option is B TFFF

All the above reagents can be used to convert alcohol to alkyl chloride.

$SOC{l}_2$ reacts by $S_{N}i$ mechanims ,$PC{l}_3$ reacts by $S_{N}2$ mechanism and $HCl$ by $S_{N}1$ or $S_{N}2$.

$HCl$ is not used to convert acetic acid into acetyl chloride.
Hence statement (1) alone is true.
