    The alkyl halide that undergoes \[{{S}_{N}}1\] reaction more readily is

    A)  ethyl bromide

    B)  iso-propyl bromide

    C)  vinyl bromide

    D)  n-propyl bromide

    E)  t-butyl bromide

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

                    \[{{S}_{N}}1\]mechanism involves formation of carbocation intermediate. Hence, the species which gives the most stable carbocation readily undergoes \[{{S}_{N}}1\] mechanism, t-butyl bromide gives the most stable carbocation, i.e., \[3{}^\circ \]carbocation, so it readily undergoes \[{{S}_{N}}1\]reaction.
