Predict the order of reactivity of the following four isomers towards SN2{S}{{N}}^2 reaction.
(I) CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl{CH}_3 {CH}_2 {CH}_2 {CH}_2 {Cl}
(II) CH3CH2CH(Cl)CH3{CH}_3 {CH}_2 {CH}({Cl}) {CH}_3
(III) (CH3)2CHCH2Cl\left({CH}_3\right)_2 {CHCH}_2 {Cl}
(IV) (CH3)3CCl\left({CH}_3\right)_3 {CCl}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
(I) >> (III) >> (II) >> (IV)
Option D (I > II > III > IV) is correct because the reactivity of SN2S_N2 reactions decreases with increasing steric hindrance. Primary halides are more reactive than secondary, which are more reactive than tertiary.
