For the reaction:
The correct statement is :
A
The transition state formed in the above reaction is less polar than the localised anion.
B
The reaction can occur in acetic acid also.
C
The solvent used in the reaction solvates the ions formed in rate determining step.
D
can act as competing nucleophile.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
This is finkelstein reaction
Transition state
Clearly, the transition state is less polar than free anions. Br and 
Acetic acid is protic which does not support 
Acetone does not solvate anion
gets precipitated and hence can not compete with I
