    				| 1. | Which of the following two compounds would react faster by SN2 mechanism and Why? | 
| Answer» In SN2 mechanism, a pentacoordinate T.S. is involved. The order of reactivity of alkyl halides towards SN2 mechanism is. Primary > Secondary > Tertiary, (due to increasing crowding in T.S. from primary to tertiary halides. 1- Chlorobutane being primary halide will react faster by SN2 mechanism, than the secondary halide 2- chlorobutane.) | |
