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 +1 effect.
Chloroethene has stronger `C-Cl` bond and so is less reactive.
