Predict the order of reactivity of the following
compounds in SN1 and SN2 reactions:
(i) The four isomeric bromobutanes
(ii) C6H5CH2Br, C6H5CH(C6H5)Br, C6H5CH(CH3)Br, C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br
For a given alkyl group, the reactivity of the halide, R-X, follows the same order in both the
mechanisms R–I> R–Br>R–Cl>>R–F
