Decreasing order of reactivity of the following compounds for SN1 substitution is?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the decreasing order of reactivity of certain compounds for SN1 substitution reactions. It presents several compounds, indicated by labels (a, b, c, d), and requires the respondent to determine their reactivity order based on the given mechanisms.
Answer
3) c > b > a > d
The final answer is 3) c > b > a > d.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 3) c > b > a > d.
More Information
In SN1 reactions, the stability of the carbocation formed is crucial. Aromatic compounds like benzyl or phenyl groups stabilize the carbocation through resonance, making them more reactive.
Tips
A common mistake is not considering the resonance effect, which highly stabilizes carbocations in SN1 reactions.
