Given below are two statements : Statement I : CH_3-O-CH_2-Cl will...

Given below are two statements : Statement I : CH3−O−CH2−Cl\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Cl} will undergo SN1\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1 reaction though it is a primary halide. Statement II : Given below are two statements : Statement I : CH_3-O-CH_2-Cl will undergo S_ N 1 reaction though it is a primary
will not undergo SN2S_N 2 reaction very easily though it is a primary halide. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
  3. CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  4. DStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Correct answer

B. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Step-by-step solution

Both statement-I and statement-II are correct Statement - I: CH3−O−C⊕H2\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{O}-\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2 is highly stable carbocation. Statement - II: Due to hindrance, SN2\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2 will not take place easily.
