which of the following will undergo a substitution reaction in a polar protocols

Question

which of the following will undergo a substitution reaction in a polar protocols solvent more rapidly?
T butyl chloride Sec butyl chloride N butyl chloride T butyl iodide Sec butyl iodide which of the following will undergo a substitution reaction in a polar protocols solvent more rapidly?
T butyl chloride Sec butyl chloride N butyl chloride T butyl iodide Sec butyl iodide which of the following will undergo a substitution reaction in a polar protocols solvent more rapidly?
T butyl chloride Sec butyl chloride N butyl chloride T butyl iodide Sec butyl iodide

Explanation / Answer

Either T butyl chloride or T butyl iodide should undergo best substitution reaction(basically reaction will follow SN1 pathway in which formation of carbocation intermediate is RDS)as from both we get most stabilised tertiary carbocation.But T butyl chloride will undergo fastest substituion as the counter ion I.e the chloride ion will be best stabilised in the polar medium over iodide as chloride is smaller than iodide.

So,T butyl chloride is the best for the substition in the polar protocols solvent.
