In a SN2 substitution reaction of the type
R Br + Cl RCl + Br
which one of the following has the highest relative rate?
R Br + Cl RCl + Br
which one of the following has the highest relative rate?
- A

- BCH3CH2Br
- CCH3CH2CH2Br
- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
SN2 mechanism is followed in case of
primary and secondary halides i.e., SN2 reaction
is favoured by small groups on the carbon atom
attached to halogens so
CH3
– X > R – CH2
– X > R2CH – X > R3C – X
