NEET 2024 Chemistry question — The compound that will undergo SN1 reaction with the fastest rate is:
  1. A.(A)
  2. B.(B)
  3. C.(C)
  4. D.(D)

Correct Answer

(C) (C)

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (c) \textbf{Solution:} The rate of an reaction is governed by the stability of the carbocation intermediate. Structure (C) is a benzylic halide that ionises to a benzylic carbocation, additionally stabilised by an alkyl (methyl) group through resonance delocalisation into the ring plus /hyperconjugation. The aryl halide (B) cannot form a carbocation and does not undergo ; the primary (D) and secondary (A) cations are far less stable. Hence (C) reacts fastest.
