Organic Compounds Containing Halogens Question 6
Question: The following reaction proceeds through the intermediate formation of $ RCOOAg+Br_2\xrightarrow{{}}RBr+CO_2+AgBr $
Options:
A) $ RCO{O^{\bullet }} $
B) $ {R^{\bullet }} $
C) $ B{r^{\bullet }} $
D) All of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] Mechanism of Hunsdiecker ’s reaction is $ R-CO{O^{-}}A\overset{+}{\mathop{g}}\xrightarrow[-AgBr]{Br_2}RCOOBr\xrightarrow{{}}RCO\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{O}}+\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{B}}r $
$ \xrightarrow{{}}{R^{\bullet }}+CO_2; $
$ {R^{\bullet }}+RCOOBr\xrightarrow{{}}R-Br+RCO\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{O}} $
