(b)COc1ccccc1Br and SN1 substitution reaction

(c)COc1ccccc1 and SN1 substitution reaction

(d)COc1cccc(N)c1

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c)

More stable as -ve charge is close to electron withdrawing group.

Also, incoming nucleophile gets attached to the same ‘C’ on which ‘Br’ (Leaving group) was present.

$\therefore$ not a cine substitution reaction.
