is treated with aq. KOH
solution. The rate of this reaction depends upon the concentration of the
compound 'A' only. When another optically active isomer 'B' of this compound
was treated with aq. KOH solution, the rate of reaction was found to be
dependent on concentration of compound and KOH both.
(i) Write down the structural formula of both
compounds 'A' and 'B'.
(ii) Out of these two compounds, which one will be
converted to the product with inverted configuration.
Answer:
Compound
with MF 
is toluene. Since CH3 group is
o, p-directing, therefore, chlorination of toluene with 
in presence of 
gives a mixture of
o-chlorotoluene and p-chlorotoluene, in which the p- isomer predominates
