$p-$chlorobenzyl chloride

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Compound $A$ is $p-$chlorobenzyl chloride $(Cl-C_6H_4-CH_2Cl)$. It reacts with alcoholic $AgNO_3$ to form $AgCl$ due to the presence of a reactive benzylic chloride group. Treatment with $NaOH$ results in the nucleophilic substitution of the benzylic chlorine to form $p-$chlorobenzyl alcohol $(Cl-C_6H_4-CH_2OH)$,which corresponds to the formula $C_7H_7OCl$. Oxidation of the side chain of $A$ yields $p-$chlorobenzoic acid. Due to the symmetry of the $p-$substituted benzene ring,$p-$chlorobenzoic acid provides only one mononitro derivative upon nitration.

$(A)$ $C_6H_5NH_2 \xrightarrow{NaNO_2, HX, 273-278 K} C_6H_5N_2^+X^-$	$(i)$ Wurtz-Fittig reaction
$(B)$ $C_6H_5N_2^+X^- \xrightarrow{Cu_2X_2} C_6H_5X$	$(ii)$ Diazotization
$(C)$ $C_6H_6 + 2Na + RX \xrightarrow{\text{dry ether}} C_6H_5R$	$(iii)$ Sandmeyer reaction
$(D)$ $2C_6H_6 + 2Na \xrightarrow{\text{dry ether}} C_6H_5-C_6H_5$	$(iv)$ Fittig reaction

An aromatic compound $A$ of formula $C_7H_6Cl_2$ gives $AgCl$ on boiling with alcoholic $AgNO_3$ solution,and yields $C_7H_7OCl$ on treatment with sodium hydroxide. $A$ on oxidation gives a monochlorobenzoic acid which affords only one mononitro derivative. The compound $A$ is :
