monchalo product in each of the
following reactions
oh hexane -socl2​

Answer 1

Answer:

CH

3

I will react faster in S

N

2 reaction than CH

3

Br. This is because I

−

is a better leaving group, owing to its greater size than Br

−

. As a result, it will leave at a faster rate in the presence of an incoming nucleophile.

(ii) CH

3

Cl will react faster in S

N

2 reaction than (CH

3

)

3

−Cl, as CH

3

−Cl is a primary halide whereas (CH

3

)

3

C−Cl is a tertiary halide. Primary halides undergo S

N

2 reactions faster
