For the following compounds, the correct statement(s) with respect to nucleophilic substitution reactions is(are)(A) I and III follow SN1 mechanism (B) I and II follow SN2 mechanism (C) Compound IV undergoes inversion of configuration (D) The order of reactivity for I, III and IV is: IV > I > III

Answer»

(A) I and III follow SN1 mechanism 

(B) I and II follow SN2 mechanism 

(C) Compound IV undergoes inversion of configuration 

(D) The order of reactivity for I, III and IV is: IV > I > III

Benzylic and 3° halides both follow SN1 mechanism. 

Benzylic and 1° halides both follow SN2 mechanism. 

Benzylic 2° halides can undergo inversion of configuration. 

The order of reactivity would be IV > I > III if both SN1 and SN2 are considered suitably for substrates.
