Question

Give test to differentiate (Bromobenzene) $\mathrm{Ph}-\mathrm{Br}$ and benzyl bromide $\left(\mathrm{PhCH}_2 \mathrm{Br}\right)$.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

$\left(\mathrm{a} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_2\right)$ will evolve with $\mathrm{Ph}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Br}$
( $\mathrm{b} \rightarrow \mathrm{AgCl}$ ) will form with $\mathrm{Ph}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Br}$
$\left(\mathrm{c} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ph}-\mathrm{CO}_2 \mathrm{H}\right)$ will form with $\mathrm{Ph}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Br}$.
