Question

Identify the correct statements. (A) C 2 H 5- O - CH 3 on cleavage with PCl 5 gives equimolar mixture of ethyl chloride and methyl chloride (B) ClCH 2 CH = CH 2 is more reactive than Br CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 to prepare ether using Williamson's synthesis (C) Anisole can be prepared by the reaction of CH 3 ONa on chlorobenzene (D) Sodium metal can be used to dry diethyl ether, benzene and ethyl alcohol.

Due to resonance, C - Cl bond attains a double bond character, hence to remove C atom is difficult from chlorobenzene unlike in alkyl halides. Ethanol (due to the presence of active H atom) racts with sodium metal while ether and benzene have no replaceable H atoms. Hence ethanol cannot be used to dry sodium.
