Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reactivity of alkyl halides towards $S_N1$ reactions depends on the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed during the rate-determining step.$S_N1$ reactivity order: $	ext{Tertiary} (3^{\circ}) > 	ext{Secondary} (2^{\circ}) > 	ext{Primary} (1^{\circ}) > 	ext{Methyl}$.In the given compounds:$a$) $(CH_3)_2CHBr$ is a secondary $(2^{\circ})$ alkyl bromide.$b$) $CH_3CH_2Br$ is a primary $(1^{\circ})$ alkyl bromide.$c$) $(CH_3)_3CBr$ is a tertiary $(3^{\circ})$ alkyl bromide.Therefore,the order of stability of the carbocations formed is $(CH_3)_3C^+ > (CH_3)_2CH^+ > CH_3CH_2^+$.Thus,the order of reactivity is $c > a > b$.

The order of reactivity of the following alkyl bromides towards $S_N1$ reactions is:
$a$) $(CH_3)_2CHBr$
$b$) $CH_3CH_2Br$
$c$) $(CH_3)_3CBr$
