NEET Chemistry SN1 & SN2 Reactions MCQ Question
Which of the following statements correctly describes the reactivity order for the SN1 reaction of the given bromides?
C6H5CH(C6H5)Br > C6H5CH(CH3)Br > C6H5CH2Br
C6H5CH2Br > C6H5CH(CH3)Br > C6H5CH(C6H5)Br
C6H5CH(C6H5)Br < C6H5CH(CH3)Br < C6H5CH2Br
C6H5CH(CH3)Br > C6H5CH2Br > C6H5CH(C6H5)Br
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The carbocation intermediate from C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is more stable due to resonance stabilization by two phenyl groups, making it more reactive in SN1 reactions compared to C6H5CH(CH3)Br.
