Question:medium
Which of the following is most reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction?
Which of the following is most reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction?
Show Hint
Carbocations that are resonance-stabilized undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions more readily.
Updated On: Jan 13, 2026
- \( CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-Cl \)
- \( CH_2=CH-Cl \)
- \( CH_2=CH-CH_2-Cl \)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Allyl chloride (\( CH_2=CH-CH_2-Cl \)) exhibits high reactivity in nucleophilic substitution due to resonance stabilization of the resulting allylic carbocation. This stabilization is absent in other compounds, leading to lower reactivity.
