JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 22nd January Morning Shift - No. 3)
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : $\quad \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Cl}$ will undergo $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ reaction though it is a primary halide.
Statement II : _22nd_January_Morning_Shift_en_3_1.png)
will not undergo $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction very easily though it is a primary halide.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Explanation
$\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Cl}$ will undergo $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ mechanism because $\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{O}-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2$ is highly stable.
