The correct order for increasing reactivity towards S_N 1 substitution for the following compounds is array ll 1. CH ₃ CH ₂ Br & 2. CH ₂= CH - CH ( Br ) CH ₃ 3. CH ₂= CHBr & 4. CH ₃- CH ( Br ) CH ₃ array
Options
- A1 < 4 < 3 < 2
- B4 < 1 < 2 < 3
- C3 < 1 < 2 < 4
- D3 < 1 < 4 < 2
Correct answer
D. 3 < 1 < 4 < 2
Step-by-step solution
S _ N l reaction is a two step reaction in which greater the stability of carbocation, greater will be its formation from alkyl halide and faster will be the rate of reaction. As, the stability of carbocations formed is in the order. (2)>(4)>(1)>(3) The order of reactivity towards S _ N 1 reaction will be (3) < (1) < (4) < (2) .
