Question

which will react faster in SN2 displacement 1-bromopentane or 2- bromopentane and why​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of SN2 reaction depends on steric hindrance around target atom. - Higher the steric hindrance, slower the reaction. - Therefore, compound with lowest steric hindrance (1-bromopentane) will show fastest SN2 reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

1-Bromopentane.

Rate of SN2 reaction depends on steric hindrance around target atom. - Higher the steric hindrance, slower the reaction. - Therefore, compound with lowest steric hindrance (1-bromopentane) will show fastest SN2 reaction.
