Iso-propyl chloride undergoes hydrolysis by
Options
- AS _ N 1 mechanism
- BS _ N 2 mechanisms
- CS _ N 1 and S _ N 2 mechanisms
- DNeither S_N 1 nor S_N 2 mechanism
Correct answer
C. S _ N 1 and S _ N 2 mechanisms
Step-by-step solution
Iso-propyl chloride is a 2^ halide and 2^ halides can undergo hydrolysis either by S _ N 1 or S _ N 2 mechanism depending upon the nature of solvent used.
