Home › JEE Main › Chemistry › Haloalkanes and Haloarenes › Reactivity order for SN2 reactions (1°, 2°, 3°):
Reactivity order for SN2 reactions (1°, 2°, 3°):
A1° > 2° > 3°
B3° > 2° > 1°
C1° > 2° > 3° (steric)
DSame
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 1° > 2° > 3° (steric)
SN2: backside attack hindered by bulk. Primary fastest, tertiary essentially doesn't undergo SN2. Reverse for SN1 (3° > 2° > 1°).
