JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 6. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Benzyl chloride reacts faster in \(S_N1\) mechanism than ethyl chloride.
Statement (II) : Ethyl carbocation intermediate is less stabilized by hyperconjugation than benzyl carbocation by resonance.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The rate of \(S_N1\) reaction depends on the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed during the rate-determining step. Benzyl chloride undergoes ionization to form a benzyl carbocation (\(C_6H_5CH_2^+\)), whereas ethyl chloride forms an ethyl carbocation…
