Question

Statement: In the above reaction, first compound in the product side is the major product.

State whether the given statement is true or false

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

It is an example of SN${}^1$ reaction

In ${SN}^{\prime }$ reaction $3^{\circ }>2^{\circ }>1^{\circ }$ is the order of reactivity.

$\left[I\right]$ formed from $2^{\circ }$ carbocation $\left[II\right]$ formed from $3^{\circ }$ carbocation which will be major.

Hence, the given statement is $false$
