Consider the reaction :
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)Br+NaCNrarrCH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CN+NaBr`
This reaction will be the fastest in :

A

ethanol

B

methanol

C

N, N' -dimethylformamide (DMF)

D

water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)Br` is a primary halide. Therefore, it undergoes nucleophilic substitution via `S_(N)2` mechanism. `S_(N)2` reaction is fastest in aprotic solvents (DMF).
