Which halogen compound in each of the following pairs will react faster in SN2 reaction (CH3)3 C – Cl or CH3 – Cl - Chemistry

Which halogen compound in each of the following pairs will react faster in S_N2 reaction

(CH₃)₃ C – Cl or CH₃ – Cl

Solution

CH₃−Cl will react faster in S_N2 reaction than (CH₃)₃ C−Cl, as CH₃−Cl is a primary halide whereas (CH₃)₃C−Cl is a tertiary halide. Primary halides undergo S_N2 reactions faster.
