Q13 / 90 · JEE Main 2010 · Chemistry
Consider the following bromides :

The correct order of $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ reactivity is

The correct order of $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ reactivity is
- Correct answerA$B>C>A$
- B$B>A>C$
- C$C>B>A$
- D$A>B>C$
Solution
$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ proceeds via carbocation intermediate, the most stable one forming the product faster. Hence reactivity order for $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$ depends on stability of carbocation created.


Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
