Q19 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (12 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry
An ‘Assertion’ and a ‘Reason’ is given below. Choose the correct answer from the following options:
Assertion : Vinyl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution easily.
Reason : Even though the intermediate carbocation is stabilized by loosely held electrons, the cleavage is difficult because of the strong bonding.

- BBoth and are wrong statements.
- CBoth and are wrong statements and is the correct explanation of
- Correct answerDis a correct statement but is a wrong statement.
Solution
does not undergo unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction due to the formation of highly unstable cation which can not be delocalized by electrons. It does not give because cloud is exposed, so, hindrance is there.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
