How do you convert the following:
(i) Prop-1-ene to 1-fluoropropane
(ii) Chlorobenzene to 2-chlorotoluene
(iii) Ethanol to propanenitrile
OR
What happens when
(i) n-butyl chloride is treated with alcoholic KOH?
(ii) 2, 4, 6-trinitrochlorobenzene is subjected to hydrolysis?
(iii) methyl chloride is treated with AgCN?
(i)
CH3−CH=CH2+HFPeroxide−−−−−→CH3−CH2−CH2−FProp−1−ene 1−fluropropane
(ii)
(iii)
OR
(i) When n-butyl chloride is treated with alcoholic KOH, but-1-ene is formed.
CH3−CH2−CH2−CH2−Cl+Alc.KOH→CH3−CH2−CH=CH2+KCl+H2O but−1−ene
(ii) 2, 4, 6-trinitrochlorobenzene under mild hydrolysis conditions (H2O323K) gives 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol or picric acid.
(iii) When methyl chloride is treated with AgCN, methyl cyanide is formed.
CH3−Cl + AgCN → CH3−C≡N + AgClMethylchloride Methyl cyanide
