Arrange the following in correct order towards S _ N 2 reaction.
Options
- AIII > I > IV > II
- BIII > IV > I > II
- CI > II > III > IV
- DI > III > II > IV
Correct answer
A. III > I > IV > II
Step-by-step solution
(a) S _ N 2 reactivity depends on steric crowding at the - carbon and the C - X bond strength. Steric crowding , S _ N 2 reactivity C-X bond strength , S _ N 2 reactivity Thus, the order of reactivity towards S _ N 2 will be :-
