In a S(N)2 substitution reaction of the ...

In a `S_(N)2` substitution reaction of the type
`R-Br+Cl^(-) overset("DMF")toR-Cl+Br^(+)`
which one of the following has the highest relative rate?

A

`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH-CH_(2)Br`

B

`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-CH_(2)Br`

C

`CH_(3)CH_(2)Br`

D

`CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)Br`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Rate of `S_(N)2` reaction decreases with increase in steric hindrance. Since `CH_(3)CH_(4)Br` has the least stearic hindrance, it reacts at the fastest rate.
