Predict the order of reactivity of following compound in S_(N^(1)) reactions.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Except for CHLOROCYCLOHEXANE which is a secondary halide, the other compound are tertiary halides in nature. We know that tertiary halides are more REACTIVE than secondary halides in `S_(N^(1))` reactions. Moreover, the order of the cleavage of `C-X` bonds is:
`C-I gt C-Br gt C-Cl`

Based on these GUIDELINES the increasing order of reactivity of the cyclic compounds listed above is:
