Consider the reactions. (i) C H OH CH CH CH Br CH CH CH OC H HBr -> (ii) C H O CH CH CH Br CH CH CH OC H HBr -> The mechanisms of reactions (i) and (ii) are respectively (AIPMT 2011)
A.SN1 and SN2
B.SN1 and SN1
C.SN2 and SN2✓ Correct
D.SN2 and SN1
Explanation
If reaction is SN1, there will be the formation of carbocation and the rearrangement takes place. In these reactions there is no rearrangement hence both are SN2 mechanism.
