Benzylamine may be alkylated as shown in the following equation : C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)NH_(2)+R-X rarr C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)NHR Which of the following alkyl halides is best suited for this reaction through SN​ 1 mechanism?

Answer»

`CH_(3)Br`
`C_(6)H_(5)Br`
`C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)Br`
`C_(2)H_(5)Br`

Solution :`C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)Br` on ionization gives benzyl carbocation. `C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)^(+)` which is resonance stabilized.
Therefore, `C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)Br` is best suited for `S_(N)1` REACTION.
