    Which of the following is the most correct electron displacement for a nucleophilic reaction to take place?           [NEET 2015 ]

    A)

    B)

    C)

    D)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Allylic and benzylic halides show high reactivity towards \[{{S}_{N}}1\] reaction further, due to greater stabilisation of allyl and benzyl carbocations intermediates by resonance, primary allylic and primary benzylic halides show higher reactivity in \[{{S}_{N}}1\] reactions than other simple primary halides.
    \[{{H}_{3}}C-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=CH-C{{H}_{2}}-Cl\overset{\,}{\longleftrightarrow}\]
    \[\underset{{{\text{2}}^{\text{o}}}\,\text{-allyl}\,\,\text{cation}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}C-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-CH=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\overset{\,}{\longleftrightarrow}\,\underset{{{\text{1}}^{\text{o}}}\text{-allyl}\,\,\text{cation}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}C-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=CH-\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]
    Hence, it undergoes nucleophilic reaction readily.
