Question

Reactivity of alkyl halides towards dehydrohalogenation reaction is

• A. $1^0>2^0>3^0$
• B. $3^0>1^0>2^0$
• C. $3^0>2^0>1^0$
• D. $2^0>1^0>3^0$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3^0>2^0>1^0$

Order of reactivity of alkyl halides towards dehydrohalogenation is $3^0>2^0>1^0$ for the halogen
