The alkyl halide that undergoes `S_N 1` reaction more readily is

A

ethyl bromide

B

isopropyl bromide

C

vinyl bromide

D

t butyl bromide

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`S_N 1` mechanism involves formation of carbocation intermediate. Hence, the species which gives the most stable carbocation readily undergoes `S_N 1` mechanism. T-butyl bromide gives the most stable carbocation ,ie, `3^@` carbocation , so it readily undergoes `S_N 1` reaction.
