Which halogen atom in each compound is more reactive in S_(N)1 reaction? Why? (ii) . |
Answer» Solution :In  , one iodo group is ATTACHED wiht allylic carbon atom and the other one is attached with NORMAL `sp^(3)` -hybirdised carbon atom. The carbocation  formed by the CLEAVAGE of C (allylic) -I bond is STABILISED by resonance. On the other hand, the carbocation  formed by the cleavage of C (normal `sp^(3)`-hybridise) -I bond has no such resonance stability. Thus the I atom attached to allylic carbon atom is more reactive in `S_(N)1` reaction.
