Nitromethane reacts with chlorine in the presence of a base to give
Options
(a) chloroform
(b) chloropicrin
(c) nitrosyl chloride
(d) chloromethane
Correct Answer:
chloropicrin
Explanation:
Primary and secondary nitroalkanes on treatment with a halogen in presence of alkali give halonitroalkanes. During this reaction. all the available α – H atoms are successively replaced by halogen atom. CH₃ + NO₂ + 3Cl₂ + 3 NaOH → Cl₃CNO₂ + 3NaCl + 3H₂O.
