The increasing order of the reactivity of the following halides for the SN1{S}_{N}1 reaction is

The increasing order of the reactivity of the following halides for the S _ N 1 reaction is

Options

  1. A(II)<(I)<(III)( II ) < ( I ) < ( III )
  2. B(I)<(III)<(II)( I ) < ( III ) < ( II )
  3. C(II)<(III)<(I)( II ) < ( III ) < ( I )
  4. D(III)<(II)<(I)( III ) < ( II ) < ( I )

Correct answer

A. (II)<(I)<(III)( II ) < ( I ) < ( III )

Step-by-step solution

Rate of SN1{S}_{N}1 reaction is directly dependent on the stability of carbocation intermediate.
(II) is primary alkyl halide.
(I) is secondary alkyl halide.
Primary alkyl halide is less reactive towards SN1{S}_{N}1 reaction than secondary alkyl halide.
In (III), the carbocation generated is stabilised due to resonance. Hence, (III) is most reactive towards SN1{S}_{N}1 reaction.
