Which of the compounds will react faster in S_N1 reaction with the OH^{-} ion?

CH_3 - CH_2 - Cl\; or\; C_6H_5 - CH_2 - Cl

Answers (1)

C_6H_5- CH_2 - Cl will react faster in S_N1 reaction with the OH^{-} ion. This is because there is enough stability of the carbocation in this compound. Here, due to resonance, the  C_6H_5 group is already stable and it is attached with CH_{2} and makes the whole structure stable.
