Chemistry Question on Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Which of the following alkyl halides will undergo SN1S_N1 reaction most readily?

A

\ce(CH3)3C−F\ce{(CH3)3C-F}

B

CH3)3C−Cl{CH_3)_3C-Cl}

C

\ce(CH3)3C−Br\ce{(CH3)3C-Br}

D

\ce(CH3)3C−I\ce{(CH3)3C-I}

Answer

\ce(CH3)3C−I\ce{(CH3)3C-I}

Explanation

Solution

Since C-I bond is the weakest of all the C-X bonds, therefore, rerf-butyl iodide undergoes SN1SN_1 reaction most readily.
