Consider The Following Alkyl Halides Ci Which Of The Following Statements Is Most Reasonable Consider That An Sn1 P 1 (91.64 KiB) Viewed 14 times

Consider the following alkyl halides: CI || Which of the following statements is most reasonable? Consider that an SN1 process is operative in a reaction with water. a) I reacts faster than II because solvent molecules can more easily attack the chlorine atom in I and pull it away. b) II reacts faster than I since there is more relief of strain in II (as opposed to I) on going to the transition state. c) II reacts faster than I because a carbonium ion can form more easily in II since II is more strained than I. d) II reacts more rapidly than I because the carbonium ion in II is not as stabilized as in I. e) I and II react at about the same rates since steric effects do not play a significant role in SN1 reactions.
