What is the order of reactivity for Sn2 reactions:
alllylic,benzylic,1 degree carbon

Open in App

Solution

Reactivity depends upon the stability of the transition state. Less hindered group will be more stable. Allylic and benzylic carbon are stabilised by resonance.
1 degree carbon > allylic > benzylic
