Which of the following molecules would react most rapidly in a nucleophilic substitution reaction? A. 2chloro2methylpropane B. 2bromo2methylpropane C. 2lodo2methylpropane D. They would all react the same
Added by Brian A.
Step 1
Since the molecules are tertiary alkyl halides (2-substituted 2-halomethylpropane), the reaction is most likely an SN1 reaction because tertiary carbons favor SN1 due to carbocation stability. Show more…

7. Which compound would have the fastest SN2 reaction with NaOCH3 ? A = 1-chloropropane B = 1-chloro-1-propene C = 2-chloropropane D = 2-chloro-1-propene E = 3-chloro-1-propene F = All of these react at the same rate G = None of these undergo SN2 reaction 8. What reaction mechanism best explains this experimental observation: 1-chloro-3-methyl-2-butene in water produces a mixture of 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol A = SN1 B = SN2 C = E1 D = E2 E = Syn Addition F = Anti Addition G = None of these
