01: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
- #9Identify A, B, C, D, E, R and R1 in the following:

Ans :
Since D of D2O gets attached to the carbon atom to which MgBr is attached, C is

Therefore, the compound R - Br is

When an alkyl halide is treated with Na in the presence of ether, a hydrocarbon containing double the number of carbon atoms as present in the original halide is obtained as product. This is known as Wurtz reaction. Therefore, the halide, R1-X, is

Therefore, compound D is

And, compound E is
