Question

Given below are two statements : Statement I : CH3 – O – CH2 – Cl will undergo SN1 reaction though it is a primary halide. Statement II : CH3 – C – CH2 – Cl will not undergo SN2 reaction very easily though it is a primary halide. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answ

Accepted Answer

Answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct — C+ is stabilized by + m of oxygen so statement 1 is correct In statement II back side attack will prefer in SN2 but here bulky group is present so always SN1 prefer not SN2 both statement are correct
