The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reactivity of 1° allylic halides compared to 1° alkyl halides in SN1 reactions, we will break down the reasoning step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Allylic Halides and Alkyl Halides**: - Allylic halides are compounds where the halogen is attached to a carbon atom adjacent to a double bond (e.g., CH2=CH-CH2X). - Alkyl halides have the halogen attached to a saturated carbon atom (e.g., CH3X). 2. **SN1 Reaction Mechanism**: - The SN1 (Substitution Nucleophilic Unimolecular) reaction involves two main steps: 1. Formation of a carbocation intermediate after the leaving group departs. 2. Nucleophilic attack on the carbocation. 3. **Stability of Carbocations**: - The stability of the carbocation formed in the first step is crucial for the reactivity of the halide. - 1° carbocations (like those formed from 1° alkyl halides) are generally less stable than 2° or 3° carbocations. 4. **Resonance Stabilization in Allylic Carbocations**: - Allylic carbocations can be stabilized through resonance. For example, when the leaving group departs from an allylic halide, the positive charge can be delocalized over the adjacent double bond. - This resonance stabilization significantly increases the stability of the allylic carbocation compared to a simple 1° alkyl carbocation. 5. **Comparative Reactivity**: - Due to the resonance stabilization, 1° allylic halides are more reactive in SN1 reactions than 1° alkyl halides. - In contrast, 1° alkyl halides do not benefit from such stabilization and are less reactive in SN1 reactions. 6. **Conclusion**: - Both statements in the question are true: 1° allylic halides are indeed more reactive than 1° alkyl halides in SN1 reactions, and this is due to the resonance stabilization of the allylic carbocation intermediate. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
