Also in this question these are the two possible products. In (A) there is a methyl shift occurring and in (B) Hydride shift. In my opinion it should be (B) since hydride shift is preferred over methyl shift but the given answer is (A)
The above reaction looks very similar to a conventional sulfonation reaction but if the reaction pathway is analogous to sulfonation I do not see how the $\ce{SO_2Cl^+}$ would form. Surely $\ce{Cl^-}$ would leave rather than $\ce{H_2O}$ in the formation of the electrophile? Please help me find ...
Suppose I have -NO attached to benzene does this substitutent increase or decrease electron density of the ring? Because NO has both lone pair and pi bond...
Oh okay...but if you look at something like vinyl chloride it doesn't undergo SN coz it has a partial double bond character right? In this case too -Cl is a good leaving group. So what is the difference in these two cases? what causes a difference in reaction even though they're quite similar
In the reduction of acid halides by a redLucing agent like LiAlH4, wouldn't there be a double bond character coz Cl has a lone pair and it would be in conjugation. So looking at it this way how does the reaction take place (my argument is that it shouldn't take place xD)
@YUSUFHASAN I kinda meant generally...I know how lithium decomposes but wasn't sure if other alkali metal sulphates even decompose and if they do is it similar to lithium?
in phenylene-diamine shouldn't the basicity order be p>aniline>o>m since -NH2 is not much of a bulky group and thus doesn't exhibit ortho effect. SO with ortho effect out of the picture -NH2 is very strong +M group and effect of +M>-I (for -NH2). In ortho due to hydrogen bonding its basicity is reduced. Meta position only -I. so by that reasoning para is most basic followed by aniline followed by ortho and then meta....So p>aniline>o>m....Am i going wrong anywhere?
In the following compound (Pyrene) why isn't Huckle's (4n+2) rule applicable? I do know it is applicable to only mono-cyclic ring systems but what changes when there are more than 3 fused rings?
