Question

Which compound in each of the following pairs will react faster in $S_{N} 2$ reaction with $¯ O H$ ?

$C H_{3} B r o r C H_{3} I$

$(C H_{3})_{3} C C l o r C H_{3} C l$

Which compound in each of the following pairs will react faster in $S N_{2}$ reaction with $¯ O H$ ?

Open in App

Solution

$C H_{3} - I$ will react faster because bond dissociation enthalpy of C - I bond is less than that of C - Br bond.

$C H_{3} C l$ will react faster because of less steric hindrance as compared to $(C H_{3})_{3} C C l$ .
