Allyl chloride is more reactive than n-propyl chloride towards unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. Explain why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why allyl chloride is more reactive than n-propyl chloride towards unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions (SN1), we need to analyze the stability of the carbocations formed during the reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structures**: - Allyl chloride (C3H5Cl) has the structure CH2=CH-CH2-Cl. - n-Propyl chloride (C3H7Cl) has the structure CH3-CH2-CH2-Cl. ...
