The decreasing order of S _ N 2 reaction for the given compounds is
Options
- AI > II > III > IV
- BII > I > III > IV
- CIV > III > II > I
- DIV > III > I > II
Correct answer
B. II > I > III > IV
Step-by-step solution
Rate of S _ N 2 reaction -I -effect, -M -effect 1 steric crowding I. CH ₃- CH ₂- CH ₂- Cl II. Ph - CH ₂- CH ₂- Cl Thus, rate of S _ N 2 reaction is II > I > III > IV
