Which one of the following is more reactive towards \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) reaction?

  1. A \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{CX}\)
  2. B \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CHX}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{X}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{X}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{X}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution \(\left(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\right)\) reaction involves reaction between reactant and nucleophile simultaneously without the formation of carbocation. Less hindered species are more reactive towards \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\)…
