Question

1 chlorobutane or 2-chlorobutane which undergoes sn1 reaction faster

Answer 1

Answer:

 2-chlorobutane will undergo SN₁ reaction more faster than 1-chlorobutane

Explanation:

The order of reactivity for SN₁ reaction is

Tertiary > Secondary > Primary   ( alkyl halide or carbocation )

Here, 1-chlorobutane is primary alkyl halide and 2-chlorobutane is secondary halide .

Therefore, 2-chlorobutane will undergo SN₁ reaction more faster than the 1-chlorobutane .
