12th Class Chemistry Haloalkanes and Haloarenes / हैलोएल्केन तथा हैलोएरीन्स Question Bank MCQs - Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

  • question_answer
    Arrange the following compounds in order of their reactivity towards \[{{S}_{N}}2\] reaction.
    (i) \[C{{H}_{3}}{{\left( C{{H}_{2}} \right)}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]
    (ii) \[{{\left( C{{H}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}CHC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]
    (iii)
    (iv)

    A) (i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)

    B) (ii) > (iii) > (iv) > (i)

    C) (iii) > (i) > (ii) > (iv)

    D) (iv) > (ii) > (i) > (iii)

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Order of reactivity of alkyl halides towards \[{{S}_{N}}2\]reaction is \[1{}^\circ \text{ }>\text{ }2{}^\circ \text{ }>\text{ }3{}^\circ \text{ }>\] aryl halides. For \[{{S}_{N}}2\] mechanism, the steric hindrance should be minimum.
