Identify A and B from the following reaction and rewrite the complete reaction:

Grignard reagents are highly reactive and react with any source of proton to give hydrocarbons. Even water, alcohol, amines are sufficiently acidic to convert them to corresponding hydrocarbons. Benzyl chloride on Grignard reagent phenyl magnesium chloride and further on hydrolysis it gives benzene.

Write a short note on Sandmeyer’s reaction.

A chemical reaction used to synthesize aryl halides from aryl diazonium salts is known as Sandmeyer Reaction. It is an example of radical-nucleophilic aromatic substitution.Copper salts like chloride, bromide or iodide ions are used as catalysts in this reaction. This reaction can be used to perform unique transformations on benzene. The transformations include hydroxylation, trifluoromethylation, cyanation, and halogenation.

What is the action of the following on ethyl bromide? silver acetate

When ethyl bromide is heated with silver acetate. It forms ethyl acetate by the following reaction, CH 3 CH 2 Br + CH 3 COOAg → ∆ CH 3 COOCH 2 CH 3 + AgBr In the above reaction, silver bromide is formed as a side product. This reaction is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
