    Which of the following alkyl halides is hydrolysed by \[{{S}_{N}}2\] mechanism?

    A)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]          

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}Br\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{2}}=CHC{{H}_{2}}Br\]

    D)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}CBr\]         

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[{{S}_{N}}2\] mechanism involves the back side attack and formation of a transition state, thus less hindered alkyl halide readily undergoes \[{{S}_{N}}2\] mechanism. Among the given, \[C{{H}_{3}}Br\] (methyl bromide) is less hindered, thus hydrolysed by \[{{S}_{N}}2\] mechanism.
