The most probable mechanism of reactivity for solvolysis of benzyl chloride is a) Sn1 b) Sn2 c) E1 d) E2. The most probable mechansim of reactvity for solvolysis of 2-chloro-norborane is a)Sn1 b)Sn2 c)E1 d)E2. The most probable mechanism of reactivity for the solvolysis of tertiary butyl chloride is a)Sn1 b)Sn2 c)E1 d)E2. I performed the experiment and benzyl chloride (primary) and teriaty butyl chloride (tertiary) ran the same amount of time. 2-chloro-norborane (secondary) ran the slowest.
Sn1 Sn1 and Sn1, is this correct. Please explain.
