The process of converting alkyl halides into alcohols involves_____________.

(i) addition reaction

(ii) substitution reaction

(iii) dehydrohalogenation reaction

(iv) rearrangement reaction

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (ii). To covert alkyl halides into alcohols, the reaction involved is –

\text {R-X}\rightarrow \text {R-OH}

In order to get the required result, the replacement of \text {-X} into \text {-OH} is necessary. And as replacing one of the groups is required, the type of reaction involved is known as substitution reaction. Thus, the correct option is (ii) substitution reaction.
