Predict the order of reactivity of the following four isomers towards SN2 reaction. (I) CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl (II) CH3CH2CH(Cl)CH3 (III) (CH3)2CHCH2Cl (IV) (CH3)3CCl

Question

Predict the order of reactivity of the following four isomers towards S_N2 reaction.

(I) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂Cl

(II) CH₃CH₂CH(Cl)CH₃

(III) (CH₃)₂CHCH₂Cl

(IV) (CH₃)₃CCl

(IV) > (II) > (III) > (I)

(IV) > (III) > (II) > (I)

(I) > (II) > (III) > (IV)

(I) > (III) > (II) > (IV)
