Question

Correct statements regarding alkyl halides (R-X) among the following are : (A) Alcohol being less polar solvent as compared to water, alcoholic KOH favours elimination reaction with R-X. (B) Order of reactivity towards S_{N} 1 mechanism is {C}₆ {H}₅-{CH}₂-{Cl} > {C}₆ {H}₅-{CHCl}-{C}₆ {H}₅. (C) Non substituted aryl halides exhibit properties similar to alkyl halides. (D) Vinyl chloride is an example of haloalkene and allyl chloride is an example of haloalkyne. (E) R-{Cl} can be prepared by reacting R-{OH} with {SOCl}₂ but Ar-{Cl} cannot be prepared by reacting Ar-{OH} with {SOCl}₂.
