Which of the following is the correct order of decreasing SN2\mathrm{SN}^2 reactivity?

Options

  1. ARCH2X>R3CX>R2CHX\mathrm{RCH}_2 \mathrm{X}>\mathrm{R}_3 \mathrm{CX}>\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{CHX}
  2. BRCH2X>R2CHX>R3CX\mathrm{RCH}_2 \mathrm{X}>\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{CHX}>\mathrm{R}_3 \mathrm{CX}
  3. CR3CX>R2CHX>RCH2X\mathrm{R}_3 \mathrm{CX}>\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{CHX}>\mathrm{RCH}_2 X
  4. DR2CHX>R3CX>RCH2X\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{CHX}>\mathrm{R}_3 \mathrm{CX}>\mathrm{RCH}_2 \mathrm{X} (X=(\mathrm{X}= a halogen ))

Correct answer

B. RCH2X>R2CHX>R3CX\mathrm{RCH}_2 \mathrm{X}>\mathrm{R}_2 \mathrm{CHX}>\mathrm{R}_3 \mathrm{CX}

Step-by-step solution

More is the steric hindrance at the carbon bearing the halogen, lesser is the SN2\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2 reactivity. Hence, (B) is correct.
