Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 12
Which of the following secondary bromides is more reactive in SN1 reactions due to greater carbocation stability?
A
C6H5CH(C6H5)Br
B
C6H5CH(CH3)Br
C
C6H5CH2Br
D
C6H5Br
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is more reactive in SN1 reactions because the carbocation intermediate formed from it is stabilized by resonance with two phenyl groups, making it more stable than the intermediate from C6H5CH(CH3)Br.
