Least reactive alkyl chloride in a S _ N 2 reaction is

Options

  1. A1-Chloro butane
  2. B1-Chloro 2-Methyl propane
  3. C2-Chloro 2-Methyl propane
  4. D2-Chloro butane

Correct answer

C. 2-Chloro 2-Methyl propane

Step-by-step solution

An S _ N 2 reaction involves a single-step concerted mechanism and the alkyl halide that is most substituted at the -position will be least reactive. Thus, 2-chloro-2-methyl propane will be least reactive.
