Question

Comparison of organohalides A and B showing bond cleavage to form carbocations and iodide anions.

Accepted Answer

Organohalide A would undergo the process faster due to the presence of an allylic carbocation intermediate.

Answer

Organohalide B would undergo the process faster due to the presence of a more stable tertiary carbocation intermediate.

Answer

Organohalide A would undergo the process faster due to the presence of a more sterically hindered carbocation intermediate.

Answer

Organohalide B would undergo the process faster due to the less sterically hindered carbocation intermediate.
