Answer:
will undergo a fast reaction also known as a second-order substitution reaction.
Explanation:
In the case of second-order substitution reaction() nucleophile attacks in 1° carbon fast because of less steric hindrance.
The order of second-order substitution reaction () is :
1°>2°>3° carbons.
The reason behind this is, that at 3° carbon there is a lot of steric hindrance due to which reaction gets slow.
At 2° carbon steric hindrance reduces and the reaction gets fast.
At 1° carbon, there is the least steric hindrance and the reaction is fastest.
Therefore, In Br is connected at 1° carbon and will be the fastest.
