I suck at chemistry but i have a friend that can help
I believe the answer is D.
Scientists are biased, and want to prove their specific hypothesis is right.
the answer you have chosen is correct
The Benzenesulfonic acid does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation because of the deactivation of the compound by the carboxylic group.
<h3>What is the Grignard reagent?</h3>
The Grignard reagent is a compound that contains alkyl magnesium halide.
a) The student will be unsuccessful to prepare a Grignard reagent from 4-bromocyclohexanol because of the -OH group that reacts with the Grignard reagent when formed.
b) The Benzenesulfonic acid does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation because of the deactivation of the compound by the carboxylic group.
c) The compound (2S, 3R)- 2,3-Dibromobutane has a specific rotation, [a]D, 0⁰ because it is a meso compound.
d) This is because, the tertiary alkyl halide is more prone to elimination reaction giving the alkene.
e) This is because, the reaction may be occurring by an SN1 mechanism and the rate determining step is the formation of the carbocation.
