Question

Which alkyl halide follows only SN2 hydrolysis mechanism?
a) CH3 - CH2 - X
b) CH3 - CH3 - CH - X
c) (CH3)3 C - X
d) C6H5 - CH2X​

Answer 1

Answer:

c6h5-ch2x is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

a) ch3-ch2-x

Explanation:

because the carbocation is stable in all other intermediates except the first one , as sn1 mechanism consist of carbocation intermediate , so in b,c,d sn1 can also take place but in a carbocation is not stable as there are only primary carbons .
