Which of the following undergoes nucleophilic substitution exclusively `S_(N)1` mechanism?

A

Benzyl chloride

B

Isopropyl chloride

C

Chlorobenzene

D

Ethyl chloride

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Benzyl carbocation is more stable due to resonance, and, thus, benzyl chloride is more reactive. In `S_(N)1` it is the stability of carbocation that decides reactivity.
