NEETChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes
Which of the following compounds would undergo S N 1 reaction faster and why?
Options
- ACompound [A] and Compound [B] undergoes S N 1 reaction at the same rate
- BCompound [A] Undergoes S N 1 reaction faster than [B] because in case of [A], the carbocation formed after the
- CCompound [A] and Compound [B] does not undergo S N 1 reaction
- DCompound [B] Undergoes S N 1 reaction faster than [A] because in case of [B], the carbocation formed after the
Correct answer
D. Compound [B] Undergoes S N 1 reaction faster than [A] because in case of [B], the carbocation formed after the
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Compound [B] Undergoes S N 1 reaction faster than [A] because in case of [B], the carbocation formed after the loss of Cl – is stabilized by resonance
