Question

Give the decreasing order of reactivity of the following alkyl halides in the Williamson' s reaction.
i. ${(C H_{3})}_{3} C - C H_{2} B r$
ii. $C l C H_{2} C H = C H_{2}$
iii. $C l C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$
iv. $B r C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$

ii > iv > iii > i

Solution

The correct option is A ii > iv > iii > i
ii > iv > iii > i (ally chloride > $R X = 1^{\circ} R B r > 1^{\circ} >$ neopentyl bromide. (R-Br) bond is weaker than (R-CI) bond. $S N^{2}$ reaction is faster with (R-Br) than with (R-CI).
