Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $SN^2$ (Substitution nucleophilic bimolecular) reaction mechanism is highly sensitive to steric hindrance. The reactivity order for $SN^2$ reactions is: $CH_3X > 1^o > 2^o > 3^o$. $CH_3Cl$ is a methyl halide,which has the least steric hindrance,making it the most reactive towards the $SN^2$ mechanism. Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

In which alkyl halide,$SN^2$ mechanism is favoured maximum?
