Answer:
Correct Answer: 44. $A \longrightarrow q,$ $B \longrightarrow q,$ $C \longrightarrow r,$ $D \longrightarrow p,s$
Solution:
- (A) $CH _3-CHBr-CD _3 \xrightarrow[E 2]{\text { Alc. } KOH} CH _2=CH-CD _3$
E2 reaction is a single-step reaction in which both deprotonation from $\beta-C$ and loss of leaving group from $\alpha-C$ occur simultaneously in the rate-determining step.
$C-D$ bond is stronger than $C-H$ bond, $C-H$ is preferably broken in elimination.
(B) $Ph-CHBr-CH _3$ reacts faster than $Ph-CHBr-CD _3$ in $E 2$ reaction because in latter case, stronger $C-D$ bond is to be broken in the rate determining step.
(C) $Ph-CH _2-CH _2 Br \xrightarrow[C _2 H _5 O^{-}]{C _2 H _5 OD} Ph-CD=CH _2$
Deuterium incorporation in the product indicates E1CB mechanism
(D) Both $PhCH _2 CH _2 Br$ and $PhCD _2 CH _2 Br$ will react at same rate in $E 1$ reaction because $C-H$ bond is broken in fast non rate determining step. Also E1 reaction follow first order kinetics.
