Question
Which of the following is the correct order of decreasing SN2 reactivity?
Options
A.RCH2X > R3CX > R2CHX
B.RCH2X > R2CHX > R3CX
C.R3CX > R2CHX > RCH2X
D.R2CHX > R3CX > RCH2X
Solution
More is the steric hindrance at the carbon bearing the halogen, lesser is the SN2 reactivity.
Hence, (2) is correct.
Hence, (2) is correct.
