Consider the following compounds.
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
(iv) 
(v) 
How many of them are more reactive than 
-bromomethane towards alcoholic KOH?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Among the given compounds, only two, i.e. (iii) and (iv) are more reactive towards alcoholic
KOH than 
-bromomethane.
As, the polarity between, the 
bond increases by increasing 
effect. The 
effect also increases by increasing alkyl group, therefore, in 
and 
the polarity is more than 
, while in rest compounds, i.e. (i), (ii) and (v) the polarity
decrease due to the presence of 
bond and 
group.
