Consider the following statements:
$(1)$ Bridgehead halides are inert towards both $S_{N^1}$ and $S_{N^2}$ reactions (until one of the ring size is an eight-membered ring).
$(2)$ The first step in both $S_{N^1}$ and $E_1$ reactions is the same.
$(3)$ $S_{N^2}$ reactions proceed with total retention of configuration.
$(4)$ $E_2$ eliminations are favored by the use of a solvent of low polarity and a high concentration of a strong base.
Which of the above statements are correct?

  • A
    $1, 2$ and $4$
  • B
    $1$ and $3$
  • C
    $2, 3$ and $4$

The correct order of increasing reactivity of $C-X$ bond towards nucleophile in the following compounds is:
$I$: Chlorobenzene (or aryl halide)
$II$: $2,4$-Dinitrochlorobenzene
$III$: $(CH_3)_3C-X$ ($3^o$ alkyl halide)
$IV$: $(CH_3)_2CH-X$ ($2^o$ alkyl halide)

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 $S_N1$ mechanism is $C_6H_5-CH_2-Cl > C_6H_5-CHCl-C_6H_5$. 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 $SOCl_2$. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
