    Benzyl amine may be alkylated as shown in the following  equation\[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}+R-X\xrightarrow{{}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}NHR.\] Which of the following alkyl halides is best suited for this reaction through \[{{S}_{N}}1\] mechanism?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}Br\]             

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Br\]

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

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Br\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Since, \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\] on ionsation gives a resonance stabilised benzyl carbocation \[({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\overset{+}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}}}\,)\] therefore \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\] is best for \[{{S}_{N}}1\] reaction.
