Amongst the following compounds, the one(s) which readily react with ethanolic KCN is

Answer»

ethyl chloride
chlorobenzene
benzaldehyde
salicylic acid.

Solution :`overset(-)CN` is a very good nucleophile. KCN can REACT with `1^(@)` halide i.e. `H_(3)CH_(2)Cl` to give `CH_(3)CH_(2)CN.`

`overset(-)CN` is very good nucleophile and a very good leaving gorup. `overset(+)Koverset(-)CN` react with benzaldehyde to caryy Benzoin condensation to give `pH-overset(OH)overset("|")"CH"-overset(O)overset(||)C-Ph`.

Chlorobenzene is inert to KCN because a PARTIAL double bond character is PRODUCED between chloride and benzene ring due to resonance.
`rarr` Salicylic acid does not react with KCN.

Amongst the following compounds, identify which are insoluble, partially soluble and highly soluble in water ?(i) Phenol(ii) Toluene(iii) Formic acid(iv) Ethlene glycol(v) Chloroform(vi) Pentanol.

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) PHENOL : `(C_(6)H_(5)OH)` has the polar group `""^(-)OH`and non - polar `""^(-)C_(6)H_(5)` group.
THUS, phenol is partially soluble in water.
(II) Toluene : `(C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(3))` has no polar groups.
Thus,toluene is insoluble in water.
(iii)Formic acid : (HCOOH) has the polar group `""^(-)OH` and can form H - bond with water.
Thus, formic acid is highly soluble in water.
(iv) Ethylene glycol :has polar - OHgroup and can form H - bond.
Thus, it is highly soluble in water.
(v) Chloroform :is insoluble in water.
(vi) Pentanol `(C_(5)H_(11)OH)` : has polar - OH group, but it also contains a very bulky non - polar `- C_(5)H_(11)` group.
Thus,pentanol is partially soluble in water.

35.

Amongst the following compounds, the one that will not respond to Cannizzaro reaction upon treatment with alkali is

Answer»

`Cl_(3)C CHO`
`Me_(3)C CHO`
`C_(6)H_(5)CHO`
`HCHO`

Solution :Although `Cl_(3)C-CHO` does not contain an ALPHA hydrogen yet it does not undergo cannizzaro REACTION. Instead under basic conditions.

Due to strong -I-effect of the `Cl_(3)C` group, it undergoes nucleophilic attach by `OH^(-)` followed by elimination of `Cl_(3)C^(-)` group. PROTON exchange between `Cl_(3)C^(-)` and HCOOH finally gives `CHCl_(3)`. and `HCOO^(-)`.
36.
