Comprehension - I
Read the paragraph carefully and answer the following questions:
Pyridine like benzene, has six  -electrons in delocalized  -orbitals, but unlike benzene the
orbitals will be deformed as electrons are more attracted towards the nitrogen atom because of
its high electronegativity. This is reflected in the dipole of pyridine which has the negative end on
N and the positive end on the nucleus. Pyridine is thus referred to as a  -deficient heterocycle.
By analogy with a benzene ring that carries an electron withdrawing substituent, NO 2, one would
expect it to be deactivated towards electrophilic attack with the help of  -delocalized molecular
orbital. We can compare the respective properties of benzene, pyridine, pyrrole, furan and
thiophene which very frequently give aromatic electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution reactions
in different positions.
77. Arrange the following in increasing order of aromatic character.

(C)(ii) > (i) > (v) > (iv) > (iii) (D) (i) > (v) > (ii) > (iv) > (iii)
78. Assertion: Dipole moment of pyridine is greater than pyrrole but in opposite direction.
Reason: In pyrrole, N atom contributes two electrons for delocalized  -orbital but this is not
true for pyridine.
(A) Assertion is correct but not reason. (B) Assertion and reason both are correct.
(C)Assertion and reason both are false. (D) Assertion is wrong but not reason.

79. Electrophilic attack is very difficult for pyridine, but at which position it is relatively easy?
(A) Only 2 (B) Only 4
(C)Only 3 (D) 2 and 4 both
80.

Read the paragraph carefully and answer the following questions:
The dehydration of alcohols and the conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides by treatment of
hydrogen halides are similar in two important ways:
1. Both reactions are protonated by acids.
2. The reactivity of alcohols decrease in the order, tertiary > secondary > primary.
It is due to the formation of stable carbocations, which is stabilized by hyperconjugation and +I
effect. These common features suggest that carbocations are key intermediates in alcohol
dehydration. It follows three steps mechanism for acid catalysed dehydration of least stable
tertiary butyl alcohol. The overall reaction is (CH3 )3 COH 

In step I, protonation of tert-butyl alcohol takes place. In step II, dissociation of tert-butyloxenium
ion takes place followed by formation of carbocation. Alkene is formed in step III by deprotonation
of tert-butyl cation.

Alkene can be oxidised in presence of different reagent to give different product. Alkene on
oxidation in presence of silver at high temperature give cyclic ether which also be synthesis by
using per acids. Alkene on reductive ozonolysis gives carbonyl compound in presence of zinc
and peroxide. On reaction with acidic KMnO 4 it also produce corresponding carbonyl compound.
Alkyne also oxidised in presence of such reagent but the products are different.
Read the above paragraph carefully and give the answer of following questions:

Comprehension – IV

Reaction intermediates are generated by breaking of covalent bond of the substrate. They are
short lived species and are highly reactive. There are six important types of reaction
intermediates–carbocation, carbanion, free radical, carbene, benzyne and nitrene.
Carbon atom bearing six electrons in its outermost orbit and has a positive charge is called
carbocation. Stability of alkyl carbocations can be explained by Inductive effect and
hyperconjugation. Anion of carbon is known as carbanion, it carries three bond pairs and one
lone pair, thus making the carbon atom negatively charged. Stability of carbanions may be
explained by electronegativity of carbanionic carbon, inductive effect and by resonance.
Carbon free radicals are odd electron species in which carbon atom bears the odd electron.
Stability of alkyl free radicals can be explained by hyperconjugation and number of resonating
structures due to hyperconjugation.

89. Consider the following carbocations.

 
(1) CH  CH (2) CH  CH

(A) (4) > (3) > (1) > (2) (B) (4) > (3) > (2) > (1)
(C) (3) > (4) > (2) > (1) (D) (3) > (4) > (1) > (2)
