COMEDK · Chemistry · 25. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Arrange the following compounds in the decreasing order of reactivity towards \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) reaction.

- A A > D > B > C
- B B > A > C > D
- C D > B > A > C
- D C > A > B > D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) C > A > B > D
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reactivity of alkyl halides towards the \(S_{N}1\) reaction depends on the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed after the departure of the leaving group (chloride ion). The more stable the carbocation, the faster the \(S_{N}1\) reaction. Analyzing the structures:…
