ok gman but i am asking about what it is

Gman Namg · Answer

The silver(I) salts of carboxylic acids react with halogens to give unstable intermediates which readily decarboxylate thermally to yield alkyl halides. The reaction is believed to involve homolysis of the C-C bond and a radical chain mechanism. approve if useful

grenade · Answer

is there any type of reactivity order basis because this reaction was there in our ut

ng29 · Answer

it is recation for preparation for alkyl bromide in this we react silver salt of acid with Br 2 in presence of CCl 4 and we get alkyl bromide + AgBr + carbon dioxide fluorine and chlorine does not give this reaction and in case of iodine ester is major product it has radical mechanism APPROVE IF USEFUL

ng29 · Answer

SIze of alkyl group is inveresly proportional to the yield of product

Gman Namg · Answer

look in case of dependency over the carbon atoms it is 1 0 RX>2 0 RX>3 0 RX approve if useful

Gman Namg · Answer

and in this reaction the number of carbon is decreased be 1

Gman Namg · Answer

and in the case of the reaction with the halides the stability is there of Br 2 only in presence of CCl 4 here CCl4 is the non polar solvent

Gman Namg · Answer

here Fluorine will not be used because of its more electronegativity here chlorine is not used because of its more bond dissociation enthalpy and finally iodine is not used beacuse it gives ester and iodine as the majors approve if useful
