MCQ
An alkyl halide may be converted into an alcohol by
- AElimination
- BAddition
- ✓Substitution
- DDehydrohalogenation
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Substitution
c
Alkyl halides on alkaline hydrolysis get converted into alcohols. This takes place by a nucleophilic substitution reaction where the $- X$ atom is substituted by a nucleophile i.e-$OH$ group.
Alkyl halides on alkaline hydrolysis get converted into alcohols. This takes place by a nucleophilic substitution reaction where the $- X$ atom is substituted by a nucleophile i.e-$OH$ group.
The primary alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by $S _{ N } 2$ mechanism, while tertiary alkyl halides follow $S _{ N } 1$ mechanism.
$R - X + KOH \rightarrow R - OH + KX$
