benzyl-iodide-is-a-1-alkyl-halide-so-an-sn1-reaction-is-expected-rather-than-sn2

Question

Benzyl iodide can either react via S_N2 or S_N1 substitution mechanism. Since Benzyl iodide is a 1* alkyl halide it is expected to react via S_N2 and not S_N1.

Draw the mechanism for the S_N1 substitution reaction and determine how this primary halide undergoes S_N1 reactions.

Accepted Answer

Benzyl chloride can undergo S_N1 reaction due to resonance stabilization of intermediate carbocation.

Answer

Benzyl chloride can undergo S_N1 reaction because primary halides prefer S_N1

Answer

Benzyl chloride can undergo S_N1 reaction due to strong nucleophile.

Answer

Benzyl chloride can undergo S_N1 presence of aromatic ring.
