NEET Chemistry Preparation Methods MCQ Question
Which method is NOT applicable for the preparation of aryl halides?
Passing dry hydrogen chloride through a solution of alcohol
Free radical halogenation of alkanes
Electrophilic substitution of arenes with bromine
Sandmeyer’s reaction with primary aromatic amines
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Passing dry hydrogen chloride through a solution of alcohol is a method for preparing alkyl chlorides, not aryl halides, due to the stronger carbon-oxygen bond in phenols. This is specifically mentioned in the context of preparation methods for haloalkanes and haloarenes.
