Chemistry Advanced Level Problem Solving (ALPS-4) - Solution

2.(B) -Haloketones react significantly faster than methyl halides. Methyl halides reacts faster than allyl
halides & tert. halide is the least reactive toward S N2 reaction.
5.(C)
6.(A) The initially formed carbocation is secondary that undergoes hydride transfer to form a tert benzylic
carbocation, that is stabilized by MeO group at para position. This 3º benzylic carbocation is attacked by
H2O to form a 3º alcohol.

8.(C) DNA contains adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) bases. But these is uracil (U) in place
of thymine in case of RNA.
The pair of complimentary bases are, A—T; A—U and G—C

Both products (A) and (B) can be obtained by NGP (Neighbouring group participation)
10.(D) SN1 reaction would be most preferred with a substrate that gives most stable carbocation (2º allylic).

-D-glucose or -D-glucose are anomers.
The constant specific rotation in water with either -D-glucose or -D-glucose attain is +52.7º.
37.(C) This problem can be solved by using the concept of stability of carbocation and S N 1 reaction.
When two phenyl groups are replaced by two para methoxy phenyl group, carbocation formed will be
more stable. As the stability of carbocation formed increases, rate of acidic hydrolysis increases:

44.(3) Only C1 and C2 are involved in osazone formation. Hence, aldohexoses and ketohexoses, which have
the same configurations at C3, C4 and C5 give the same osazone.

45.(A)
Although both reactions are giving the same product, carbocation I is more stable than II.
46.(D) The time taken for the completion of 50% of reaction is same, implies that the reaction is first-order
type. This is possible when the halide undergoes S N1 reaction & for that the halide must be tertiary.

53.(D) This problem can be solved by using the concept of synthesis of dye using electrophilic aromatic
substitution reaction. In basic (alkaline) solution naphthol exists as naphthoxide ion which is a strong o,
p-directing group.
54.(D) I & III are 2º & 1º carbocation also stabilized by lone pair delocalization of O, out of which I is more
stable than III. II & IV are simple 2º & 1º carbocations, respectively, of which II is more stable due to
greater hyper conjugation.
The correct order is (I) > (III) > (II) > (IV)
