Question

In which of the following alkyl halide is $S{N}_2$ mechanism is favored the maximum

• A. $(C{H}_3{)}_{3}C-Cl$
• B. $C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}Cl$
• C. $(C{H}_3{)}_{2}CHCl$
• D. $C{H}_{3}Cl$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $C{H}_{3}Cl$

$S{N}^2$ bimolecular nucleophilic substitution's order in different alkyl halides. $1^{\circ }>2^{\circ }>3^{\circ }$
$S{N}^1$ bimolecular nucleophilic substitution order of different alkyl halides is $3^{\circ }>2^{\circ }>1^{\circ }$.
