Q82 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Chemistry
Consider the reaction
This reaction will be the fastest in
This reaction will be the fastest in
- AEthanol
- BMethanol
- Correct answerCN, N' - dimethylformamde (DMF)
- DWater
Solution
The reaction proceeds via mechanism. It is a unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. The reaction is hence favoured in the presence of a polar aprotic solvent. DMF is a polar aprotic solvent. So, the reaction is the fastest with DMF solvent.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
