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. |
