\(t\)-butyl chloride preferably undergo hydrolysis by
- A any of (a) and (b)
- B \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) mechanism
- C None of the above
- D \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) mechanism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) mechanism
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(t\)-butyl chloride is a tertiary alkyl halide, represented as \((CH_{3})_{3}CCl\). In nucleophilic substitution reactions, tertiary alkyl halides are highly sterically hindered, which prevents the approach of a nucleophile from the backside, making the…
