Question
Rank the following compounds in order of their expected reactivity toward $S_{N} 2$ reaction: $$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{Br}, \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OTos},\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{CCl},\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CHCl}$$
Step 1
Step 1: The reactivity of a compound towards $S_{N} 2$ reaction depends on the nature of the leaving group and the steric hindrance around the carbon atom to which the leaving group is attached. Show more…
