Which of the following alkyl halides will undergo `S_N1` reaction most readily ?

A

`(CH_3)_3C-F`

B

`(CH_3)_3C-Cl`

C

`(CH_3)_3C-Br`

D

`(CH_3)_3C-I`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
All the given compounds are tertiary alkyl halides but the bond formed between carbon and iodine (C - I) bond is the weakest bond due to large difference in the size of carbon and iodine. So, `(CH_3)_3C-I` gives `S_N^1` reaction most readily. In other words. Iodine is a better leaving group

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Aryl halides are extremely less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the following reasons: (i) In haloarenes, the electron pairs on halogen atom are in conjugation with u-electrons of the ring. (ii) In haloalkane, the carbon atom attached to halogen is sp^3 hybridised while in case of haloarene, the carbon atom attached to halogen is sp^2 -hybridised. In case of haloarenes/ the phenyl cation formed as a result of self-ionisation will not be stabilised by resonance. Which of the following alkyl halides will undergoes S_N1 reaction most readily ?
