Question
The order of reactivities of the gollowing alkyl halides for a SN 2reaction is :
Options
A.RF > RCl > RBr > RI
B.RF > RBr > RCl > RI
C.RCl > RBr > RF > RI
D.RI > RBr > RF > RF
Solution
The order of strength of R - X bond R - I < R - Br < R - Cl < R - F thus the order of reactivity of alkyl halides in SN-1 or SN-2 reaction will be :
R - I > R - Br > R - Cl > R - F
Also I- is better leaving group.
R - I > R - Br > R - Cl > R - F
Also I- is better leaving group.
