MCQ
Reaction of $\ce{C_6H_5CH_2Br}$ with aqueous sodium hydroxide follows $........$
- ✓$S_{N_1}$ mechanism
- B$S_{N_2}$ mechanism
- CAny of the above two depending upon the temperature of reaction
- DSaytzeff rule
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$S_{N_1}$ mechanism
$\ce{C_6H_5CH_2Br}$ will follow $S_{N_1}$ mechanism on reaction with aqueous sodium hydroxide since the carbocation formed $\ce{C_6H_5CH_2}$ is a resonance stabilized cation.
Benzylic halides show high reactivity towards the $S_{N_1}$ reaction.
The carbocation thus formed gets stabilized through resonance as shown in the structure.
