MCQ
Which one of the following reactions does not yield an alkyl halide
  • Diethyl ether $ + C{l_2}$
  • B
    Diethyl ether $ + HI$
  • C
    Diethyl ether and $PC{l_5}$
  • D
    Diethyl ether $\xrightarrow{\text{Reduction}}X\xrightarrow{S{{O}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
Diethyl ether $ + C{l_2}$
a
${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\,\xrightarrow[Dark]{C{{l}_{2}}}$  $\underset{\alpha \,-\,\alpha '\,-\,dichlorodiethyl\,\,ether}{\mathop{\begin{matrix}
   \,\,Cl\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Cl\,\,\,\,\,  \\
   |\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,  \\
   C{{H}_{3}}-CH-O-CH-C{{H}_{3}}  \\
\end{matrix}}}\,$

${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\,\xrightarrow[Light]{C{{l}_{2}}}$ $\underset{Perchloro\det hylether}{\mathop{CC{{l}_{3}}-CC{{l}_{2}}-O-CC{{l}_{2}}-CC{{l}_{3}}}}\,$
