Which of the following reaction(s) can be used for the preparation of alkyl halides?(i) (ii) (iii) (iv)

  1. A
    (iv) only
  2. B
    (iii) and (iv) only
  3. C
    (i), (iii) and (iv) only
  4. D
    (i) and (ii) only

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Primary () and secondary () alcohols require a catalyst like anhydrous (Lucas reagent) to react with . Thus (i) and (iv) work.Tertiary () alcohols are highly reactive and react with conc. even in the absence of a catalyst. Thus (iii) works.Reaction (ii) is slow/ineffective without a catalyst.
