Question
Which halogen compound in each of the following pairs will react faster in SN2 reaction
(CH3)3 C – Cl or CH3 – Cl
Advertisements
Solution
CH3−Cl will react faster in SN2 reaction than (CH3)3 C−Cl, as CH3−Cl is a primary halide whereas (CH3)3C−Cl is a tertiary halide. Primary halides undergo SN2 reactions faster.
