Which of the following undergoes nucleophilic substitution exclusively by SN1 mechanism?
- AEthyl chloride
- BIsopropyl chloride
- CChlorobenzene
- DBenzyl chloride
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
SN1 reaction is favoured by heavy groups
on the carbon atom attached to halogen i.e
Benzyl > allyl > tertiary > primary >
secondary > primary > alkyl halides
