The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options has a very fast rate of \( S_N1 \) reaction, we need to analyze the stability of the carbocations formed in each case. The stability of the carbocation is crucial because the \( S_N1 \) mechanism involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: - Option A: \( CH_3CH_2Cl \) (forms a secondary carbocation) - Option B: \( C_6H_5CH_2Cl \) (forms a resonance-stabilized carbocation) - Option C: \( CH_3COOCH_2Cl \) (forms a primary carbocation) - Option D: \( CH_3CH_2Cl \) (forms a primary carbocation) 2. **Analyze Carbocation Stability**: - **Option A**: The reaction forms a secondary carbocation. Secondary carbocations are relatively stable but not the most stable. - **Option B**: The reaction forms a benzyl carbocation, which is resonance-stabilized. This makes it more stable than a secondary carbocation. - **Option C**: The reaction forms a primary carbocation. Primary carbocations are the least stable. - **Option D**: Similar to Option C, this also forms a primary carbocation, which is not stable. 3. **Compare the Stability**: - Tertiary carbocations > Secondary carbocations > Primary carbocations. - Additionally, resonance stabilization (as in Option B) significantly increases the stability of the carbocation. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the options, Option B, which forms a resonance-stabilized benzyl carbocation, is the most stable and thus will have the fastest rate of \( S_N1 \) reaction. ### Final Answer: **Option B** has the fastest rate of \( S_N1 \) reaction due to the formation of a resonance-stabilized carbocation.
