Distinguish between chlorocyclohexane and chlorobenzene using lucas test |
|
Answer» CHLORO Cyclohexane and CHLOROBENZENE gives different products with SILVER nitrate(AgNO3 ) as; Chlorobenzene do not reacts with 2%Ethanolic silver nitrate SOLUTION but chloro cyclohexane reacts with 2% Ethanolic silver nitrate solution to give a white precipitate. It is because in chlorocyclohexane , the C-Cl bond is of sp3 hybridization, which follows nucleophilic reaction, but in chlorobenzene , the C-Cl bond is related with an sp2hybridized CARBON atom and the C-Cl bond has a partial double bond character due to resonance, so it does not undergo nucleophilic reaction. |
