2-bromo-1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene is being synthesized in following sequence:
Step 1: Chlorination of Benzene:
This is Halogenation reaction of benzene. In this step benzene is reacted with Chlorine gas in the presence of lewis acid (i.e. FeCl₃). This results in the formation of Chlorobenzene as shown in red step below.
Step 2: Nitration of Chlorobenzene:
The chlorine atom on benzene has a ortho para directing effect. Therefore, the nitration of chlorobenzene will yield para nitro chlorobenzene as shown in blue step below.
Step 3: Bromination of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene:
In this step bromination is done by reacting bromine in the presence of lewis acid. The chlorine being ortho para directing in nature and nitro group being meta directing in nature will direct the incoming Br⁺ (electrophile) to the desired location. Hence, 2-bromo-1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene is synthesized in good yield.
Answer:
Are barium and chlorine a metal and nonmetal?
Explanation:
I had the same question, and my class reviewed the test and this was the answer to this question.
Answer:
The equilibrium will shift in forward direction.
Explanation:
The equilibrium between the carbonic acid and bicarbonate ion is shown below as:
H₂CO₃ (aq) ⇔ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃²⁻(aq)
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the change in any state of the equilibrium say temperature, volume, pressure, or the concentration, the equilibrium will oppose these changes and will shift in such a way that the effect cause must be nullified.
<u>If a strong base is added to the equilibrium, the base will accept hydrogen ions which are formed in the right side of the equilibrium. Thus, there will be less hydrogen ions present and to compensate this effect, the equilibrium will shift in forward direction.</u>
Answer:
B. Optical
Explanation:
First, let's go through what isomerism is. Isomerism is the relation of two or more compounds, radicals, or ions that are composed of the same kinds and numbers of atoms but differ from each other in structural arrangement (structural isomerism), as CH3OCH3 and CH3CH2OH, or in the arrangement of their atoms in space and therefore in one or more properties. There are 5 types of structural isomerism. They are chain isomerism, position isomerism, functional group isomerism, metamerism, and tautomerism. This would mean that these types of structural isomerism that are in the options would be eliminated as the question ask which of the "following" is not a type of structural isomerism. This would leave the only option available which is Option B. Optical Isomerism. So instead of being a structural isomerism, it is a type of stereoisomerism. Stereoisomerism is the arrangement of atoms in molecules whose connectivity remains the same but their arrangement in space is different in each isomer.
Therefore, the answer is Option B. Optical.
