Question

The organic chloro compound, which shows complete sterochemical inversion during a SN2 reaction, is (A) (C2H5)2CHCl (B) (CH3)3CCl (C) (CH3)2 CHCl (D) CH3Cl

SN2 reaction is favoured by small groups on the carbon atom attached to halogen. So, the order of reactivity is CH3Cl > (CH3 ) 2CHCl > (CH3 ) 3CCl > (C2H2)2 CHCl

Q. The organic chloro compound, which shows complete sterochemical inversion during a $S_{N^{2}}$ reaction, is

$(C_{2} H_{5})_{2} C H Cl$

$(C H_{3})_{3} CCl$

$(C H_{3})_{2} C H Cl$

$C H_{3} Cl$

$S_{N^{2}}$ reaction is favoured by small groups on the carbon atom attached to halogen. So, the order of reactivity is $C H_{3} Cl > (C H_{3}) 2 C H Cl > (C H_{3}) 3 CCl > (C_{2} H_{2})_{2} C H Cl$
