The increasing order of reactivity of the following compounds towards reaction with alkyl halides directly is: ( i ) ( i i ) ( i i i ) ( i v )
Options
- Ai < i i < i i i < i v
- Bi i < i < i i i < i v
- Ci i < i < i v < i i i
- Di < i i i < i v < i i
Correct answer
B. i i < i < i i i < i v
Step-by-step solution
Alkyl halide undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction. More nucleophilic nitrogen of amine group, more reactive will it be with alkyl halides. Presence of electron-withdrawing group will decrease the nucleophilic character of amino group. Hence the order of reactivity;
