Chloroethane, 2-chloropropane and chloroethene are treated with methoxide. Which is more reactive towards Williamson's synthesis ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Chloroethane is more reactive. 2-Chloropropane is being `2^(@)` halide, is less reactive due to +I effect. Chloroethene has stronger C-Cl bond and so is also less reactive.
