Chapter 9.5, Problem 19P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given below compounds, one which is more reactive in ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ solvolysis reaction has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

If alkyl halide has same stability, then the difference in their reaction rates is due to the difference in the stabilities of the transition state of the rate determining step.

Substitution reaction is a reaction in which an atom or group of a molecule is replaced by another atom or group.

S_N1 reaction refers to unimolecular substitution reaction in which rate of the reaction depends on concentration of only one reactive species.
