Arrange the following organic halides in correct order of reactivity towards ( S _ N 2 ) displacement.
Options
- A(P > Q > R )
- B(R > P > Q )
- C(P > R > Q )
- D(Q > R > P )
Correct answer
D. (Q > R > P )
Step-by-step solution
(3^ ) alkyl halide (highly sterically hindered) (1^ ) alkyl halide (least sterically hindered) (R) (2^ ) alkyl halide Rate of ( S _ N 2 ) reaction ( 1 sterically hindrance ) ( ) Rate is (1^ > 2^ > 3^ ) alkyl halide. Hence, (Q > R > P ) is correct answer.
