Chapter 7, Problem 7.62P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The given compounds A, B and C are to be arranged in order of increasing SN2 reactivity.

Concept introduction: An alkyl halide is classified as 1°, 2° or 3° when a halogen atom is bonded to primary, secondary or tertiary carbon atom of a hydrocarbon chain, respectively. A primary, secondary and tertiary carbon atom is bonded to one, two and three other carbon atoms, respectively. The order of increasing reactivity of alkyl halide towards SN2 reaction is vinyl<3°<2°<1°.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The given compounds A, B and C are to be arranged in order of increasing SN1 reactivity.

Concept introduction: In SN1 reaction mechanism, the removal of halide from alkyl halide leads to the formation of carbocation. The order of increasing stability of carbocation is vinyl<1°<2°<3°.
