Which of the following is expected to be a faster S_N2 reaction. Reaction C or D

Question

Which of the following is expected to be a faster S_N2 reaction. Reaction C or D? You may assume that any unspecified reactions conditions are the same for both reactions. reaction C reaction D both reactions will occur at the same rate because this, is a second-order reaction this cannot be determined Which of the following is expected to be a faster S_N2 reaction. Reaction E or F? You may assume that any unspecified reactions conditions are the same for both reactions. reaction E reaction F both reactions will occur at the same rate because this is a second-order reaction this cannot be determined

Explanation / Answer

Reaction D will be faster than its counterpart because Iodide leaves better than bromide

Reaction E will be the faster reaction because of the less sterical hinderance than its counter part. Furthermore in the substrate in reaction F, sterical hinderance is close to the reaction center
