Assertion: `S_(N^1)` reactions are generally carried out in polar protic solvents (like water,alcohol, acetic acid etc.)
Reason: `C_6H_5CH(C_6H_5)Br` is less reactive than `C_6H_5CH(CH_3)Br` in `S_(N^1)` reactions.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason Is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assetion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Carbocation obtained from `C_6H_5CH(CH_3)Br" as " C_6H_5CH(C_6H_5)` is stabilised by two phenyl group and hence it is more reactive in `S_(N^1)` reaction.
