Question

Hydrolysis of Benzyl bromide undergoes SN1 reaction because
1) back side attack favorable.
2)staballize carbocation.
3) inversion of configuration.
4)none of these.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Benzyl chloride undergoes SN1 reaction faster than cyclohexyl methyl chloride because in case of benzyl chloride, the carbocation formed after the loss of Cl– is stabilised by resonance, whereas, no such stabilisation is possible in the carbocation obtained from cyclohexyl methyl chloride.
