column I | Column II |
i. reaction | a. vic-dibromides |
ii. Chemicals in fire extinguisher | b. gem - dihalides |
iii. Bromination of alkene | c. Racemination |
iv. Alkylidene halides | d. Saytzeff rule |
v. Elimination of HX from alkylhalide | e. Chlorobromocarbons |
(i) When any mixture has two enantiomers in equal proportions, then there will be zero optical rotation observed. These kinds of mixtures are called racemic mixtures and this process of conversion of enantiomers into a racemic mixture is known as racemisation. When alkyl halide follows SN1 mechanism then racemisation is observed.
(ii) Chlorofluorocarbons are used in fire extinguishers.
(iii) Halogen atoms are present on the adjacent carbon atom in vic-dihalides. vic-dihalides are observed from the Bromination of alkanes.
(iv) Alkylidene halides are also known as gem-dihalides. Halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom in case of gem-dihalides.
(v) Elimination of HX from alkylhalide follows Saytzeff rule. This rule states that “in dehydrohalogenation reactions, the preferred product is that alkene which has the greater number of alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms”.
