COMEDK · Chemistry · 25. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
With reference to the two statements Assertion and Reason, choose the correct option.
Assertion: The order of reactivity towards S\(_N\)1 reaction is: C\(_6\)H\(_5\[-\)CH\(_2\)Br > (CH\(_3\))\(_3\]-\)C\(-\)Br > (CH\(_3\))\(_2$$-\)CH\(-\)Br.
Reason: Among the given 3 compounds the Benzyl carbocation formed is the most stable while Isopropyl carbocation is the least stable one.
- A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
- B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- C Reason is correct but Assertion is wrong
- D Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reactivity of alkyl halides towards \(\text{S}_{\text{N}}1\) reactions depends on the stability of the intermediate carbocation formed during the rate-determining step. The carbocations formed from the given alkyl halides are: 1. Benzyl carbocation…
