QJEEM05Chd592: JEE Main 2005 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM05Chd592 Solution: Tertiary alkyl halides are practically inert to substitution by …
Tertiary alkyl halides are practically inert to substitution by SN2 mechanism because of
Multiple Choice Options
- A insolubility
- B instability
- C inductive effect
- D steric hindrance
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Due to steric hindrance tertiary alkyl halide do not react by mechanism they react by mechanism. mechanism is followed in case of primary and secondary alkyl halides .
The order is
C{H_2} - X > C{H_3} - C{H_2}X > {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}CH.X > {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}C - X
The order is
C{H_2} - X > C{H_3} - C{H_2}X > {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}CH.X > {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}C - X
