Which of the following halides will be most reactive in S N 1 reaction and S N 2 reactions, respectively

Which of the following halides will be most reactive in S N 1 reaction and S N 2 reactions, respectively

  1. (I), (II)
  2. (II), (I)
  3. (II), (III)
  4. (III), (I)

Solution

(I) 1 ° allylic halide have less steric hindrance, so it is more reactive for S N 2 reaction.
(III) 3 ° allylic halide gives most stable tertiary allylic carbonium ion so most reactive towards S N 1 reaction. ~
