Which of the following alkyl halide will undergo \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) reaction fastest?
- A \(\mathrm{Me}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{F}\)
- B \(\mathrm{Me}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}\)
- C \(\mathrm{Me}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Br}\)
- D \(\mathrm{Me}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{I}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{Me}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{I}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) reaction rate is fastest with the best leaving group. Leaving group ability: \(\mathrm{I}^{-} > \mathrm{Br}^{-} > \mathrm{Cl}^{-} > \mathrm{F}^{-}\). Therefore, \(\mathrm{Me}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{I}\) will react fastest.

Carboxylic acids are the earliest organic compounds isolated from nature. These are also known as organic acids but are weaker acids as compared to mineral acids. However, they are more acidic than alcohols and phenols because of greater resonance stabilization of the parent acid and its conjugate base. The acidic strength is determined by the \(K _a\), which is called the acidity constant.
The greater the value of \(K _a\), the greater the tendency of the acid to ionize and hence the stronger the acid. The acidic strength of the saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid depends upon the inductive effect and its position with respect to - COOH groups. Electron -donating substituents tend to decrease whereas electron-withdrawing substituents tend to increase the acidic strength. The acidic strength of the aromatic carboxylic acid, on the other hand depends upon both the inductive effect and the resonance effect of the substituents.

Amines are considered as derivatives of ammonia obtained by replacement of hydrogen atoms with alkyl or aryl groups. In nature they occur among proteins, vitamins, alkaloids and hormones. These can be primary, secondary or tertiary depending on the number of hydrogen groups replaced. They can be prepared from nitro compounds, alkyl halides, nitriles, amides etc. Due to unshared pair of electrons they behave as Lewis bases. Influence of the number of hydrogen atoms at nitrogen atom is displayed in physical properties such as solubility, boiling point and chemical reactions including basicity. Basic character of amines is expressed in terms of their \(K_b\) and \(p K_b\) values. Three classes of amines can be distinguished with p-toluene sulphonyl chloride which reacts with primary and secondary ddu amines. Amino group when attached to benzene ring behaves as an activating and ortho para directing group.

Does the number of species in a community really matter to the functioning of the ecosystem? This is a question for which ecologists have not been able to give a definitive answer. For many decades, ecologists believed that communities with more species, generally, tend to be more stable than those with less species. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) (2004), the total number of plant and animal species described so far is more than 1.5 million.
