JEE Main2010ChemistryHaloalkanes and HaloarenesActual
Consider the following bromides : The correct order of S _ N 1 reactivity is
Options
- AB>C>A
- BB>A>C
- CC>B>A
- DA>B>C
Correct answer
A. B>C>A
Step-by-step solution
S _ N 1 proceeds via carbocation intermediate, the most stable one forming the product faster. Hence reactivity order for A , B , C depends on stability of carbocation created.
