Answer the following:
A. Haloalkanes easily dissolve in organic solvents, why?
B. What is known as a recemic mixture? Give an example.
C. Of the two bromoderivatives, C6H5CH (CH3) Br and C6H5CH (C6H5) Br, which one is more reactive in SN1 substitution reaction and why?
D. Although chlorine is an electron withdrawing group, yet it is ortho, para-directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Explain why it is so? [1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4]
