NEET Chemistry SN1 & SN2 Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is more reactive than C6H5CH(CH3)Br in SN1 reactions. | Reason (R): The carbocation intermediate from C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is stabilized by two phenyl groups through resonance.
Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(A) is true, but (R) is false.
(A) is false, but (R) is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The carbocation intermediate formed from C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is more stable due to resonance stabilization by two phenyl groups, making it more reactive in SN1 reactions.
