JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question
Correct statements regarding alkyl halides (R−X) among the following are: A. Alcohol being less polar solvent as compared to water, alcoholic KOH favours elimination reaction with R−X. B. Order of reactivity towards mechanism is C₆H₅−CH₂−Cl > C₆H₅−CHCl−C₆H₅. C. Non substituted aryl halides exhibit properties similar to alkyl halides. D. Vinyl chloride is an example of haloalkene and allyl chloride is an example of haloalkyne. E. R−Cl can be prepared by reacting R−OH with SOCl₂ but Ar−Cl cannot be prepared by reacting Ar−OH with SOCl₂. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
A is correct (the less-polar alcoholic medium favours E2). B is wrong: the more resonance-stabilised benzhydryl cation makes C₆H₅CHClC₆H₅ more
