The SN2 reaction is faster at primary carbon. It becomes even faster if pi-conjugation is available.
SN2 is not possible at sp2 carbon.


To test the reactivity of halides in sodium iodide (Sn2). arrange in decreasing reactivity Bromobenzene 1-bromobutane...
Arrange the alkyl halides in order of reactivity (from most to least reactive) under both SN1 (silver nitrate/ethanol) and SN2 (sodium iodide/acetone) conditions: 1-bromobutane, 2-bromobutane, bromocyclohexane, 2-bromo-2-methylpropane, 1-bromoadamantane, benzyl bromide, and bromobrmzene.
Arrange these halides in decreasing order of reactivity toward I- in acetone: n-butyl bromide, sec-butyl bromide, tert-butyl bromide, allyl bromide, bromobenzene and benzyl bromide
Arrange these in order of decreasing reactivity with Ag+ and why. n-butyl bromide, sec-butyl bromide, tert-butyl bromide, allyl bromide, bromobenzene and benzyl bromide

1. Compare the reactivity of primary alkyl halides in part 1 (SN2) of this experiment to the reactivity of primary alkyl halides today. What conclusions, if any, can you make about the reactivity of these molecules under these different conditions? Use specific data to make your point. 2. Compare the reactivity of secondary alkyl halides in part 1 (SN2) of this experiment to the reactivity of secondary alkyl halides today. What conclusions, if any, can you make about the reactivity...

1. In both the sodium iodide
test and the silver nitrate test, why does 2-bromobutane react
faster than 2-chlorobutane?
Bromine is a better leaving group since it is a weaker base than
chlorine is.
2. a. Why does benzyl chloride react under both
SN1 and SN2 conditions?
Benzyl
chloride is a primary alkyl halide, hence reactive under SN2
conditions.
The
primary carbocation formed due to the departure of Cl- is
stabilized by the pi electrons in the benzene ring.
b. Why is...
