Which of the following haloalkanes reacts with aqueous KOH most easily? Explain giving reason.
(i) 1-Bromobutane
(ii) 2-Bromobutane
(iii) 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane
(iv) 2-Chlorobutane
(iii) 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane
This comlpex will easily react with the aqueous KOH. Here, tertiary carbocation will be formed and this will be most stable.
