Which of the following alkyl halide undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction via formation of a carbocation ?

A

1-Chloro-2-methylpropane

B

2-Chloro-2-methylpropane

C

2-Chlorobutane

D

1-Chloro-3,3-dimethylpentane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The electron around X atom increases in C of C-X bond with the number of R-group due to +I effect of R group. Consequently, C-X bond becomes highly polarised and undergoes heterolysis.
