which of the following halides reacts more slowly in an SN1 reaction: 5-chloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene or 7-chloro-1,3,5-cycloheptat
1 answer:
Answer:
5-chloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene
Explanation:
5-chloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene will react more slowly in an SN1 reaction. ( i.e. No reaction as the product is unstable ) attached is the representation of the rate of reaction of both Halides which shows that 5-chloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene reacts the slowest .
Also During SN1 reaction Carbocation is formed .
