Question

Which of the following compounds would undergo SN1 reaction faster and why?

(A) (B)
Short Note

Solution

(B) Undergoes SN1 reaction faster than (A) because in the case of (B), the carbocation formed after the loss of Cl is stabilised by resonance.

On the other hand, the carbonation formed during reaction (A) is not resonance stabilized.
