JEE Main 2 April 2026, Shift 2, Chemistry Q65

Question 65 of 75 in this shift, Chemistry question 15 of 25, Section A.

Correct statements regarding alkyl halides (R - X) among the following are: A. Alcohol being less polar solvent as compared to water, alcoholic KOH favours elimination reaction with R - X. B. Order of reactivity towards SN1S_N^1 mechanism is C6H5−CH2−CH2−Cl>C6H5−CHCL−C6H5C_6H_5-CH_2-CH_2-Cl > C_6H_5-CHCL-C_6H_5. C. Non substituted aryl halides exhibit properties similar to alkyl halides. D. Vinyl chloride is an example of haloalkene and allyl chloride is an example of haloalkyne. E. R−ClR - Cl can be prepared by reacting R−OHR - OH with SOCl2SOCl_2 but Ar−ClAr - Cl cannot be prepared by reacting Ar−OHAr - OH with SOCl2SOCl_2.
