Question

In two separate experiments equal quantities of an alkyl halide, C 4 H 9 C l , were treated at the same temperature with equal volume of 0.1 molar and 0.2 molar solutions of NaOH respectively. In the two experiments, t 1 / 2 of the two reactions were the same. The most likely structure of halide is, C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 C H 2 C l, C H 3 C H ( C l ) C H 2 C H 3, ( C H 3 ) 2 C H C H 2 C l, ( C H 3 ) 3 C C l

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

As it is independent of the concentration of NaOH. So, it undergoes via S N 1 . So, most likely the halide is tertiary halide. So option D is correct.
