Which one of the following alkyl bromides would undergo rapid solvolysis in methanol to give corrosponding
methyl ether
options
Answer:
Solvolysis in methanol: it would depend on the stability of the carbonium ion, more stable is the carbonium ion more rapid would be solvolysis
In oprion 1) a primary carbonium ion is formed
In oprion 1) a primary carbonium ion is formed
The carbonium ion is resonance stabilized
While in other options the carbonium ions formed are as follows
The the stability of first carbonium ion is greater as it is resonance stabilized so the correct option should be the option 1)
