Benzylamine may be alkylated as shown in the following equation:C_6 H_5 CH_2 NH_2 +R -X to C_6 H_5CH_2 NHR Which of the following alkylhalides is best suited for this reaction through S_(N^1) mechanism?

Answer»

`CH_3 Br`
`C_6 B_5 Br`
`C_6 H_5 CH_2 Br`
`C_2 H_5 Br`

Solution :`C_6 H_5 CH_2Br` is best SUITED for `S_(N^1)` reaction because upon ionization its gives the RESONANCE stabilized BENZYL carbocation
` (C_6 H_5 CH_(2)^(+))`
