2.(B)

3.(D)

Size of substituent decreases SN 2 reactivity.

4.(C) Rate of dehydration  stability of carbocation

5.(C)

Formation of P1 is free radical substitution reaction while formation of P2 is electrophilic substitution

reaction.

6.(C) Formation of P1 takes place by E2 mechanism and formation of P2 takes place by SN 1 mechanism.

7.(D) A is formed by SN 2 mechanism but B and C can be formed by E2 mechanism.

8.(C) Attack of electrophile will take place at position C due to meta directing nature of –NO 2 group and
COOH group.

9.(C) SN 2 path is not possible due to steric hindrance

10.(A) Methyl and Methoxy are activating group for electrophilic reactions while Cl is deactivating for
electrophilic substitution reaction.

11.(D)

12.(B)

13.(C) The given conversion clearly shows that the reaction follows SN 2 path
Θ
Now, S H replaces IΘ which means X should be NaSH
Also, SN 2 path is favored in polar aprotic solvents
Hence, NaSH in acetone is the most appropriate combination.
14.(C) Activating group increases reactivity towards electrophilic substitution reaction.

15.(D)

16.(C) Conjugated product is more stable than Saytzeff product. Me3COK favours less substituted
conjugated product.
