JEE Main Chemistry question

Correct order of reactivity for halides is:

(A)Vinyl chloride > allyl chloride > propyl chloride
(B)Propyl chloride > vinyl chloride > allyl chloride
(C)Allyl chloride > propyl chloride > vinyl chlorideCorrect
(D)None of the above

Answer: (C)

Solution

Allyl chloride is exceptionally reactive because its ionisation gives a resonance-stabilised allylic cation; propyl chloride (a simple primary halide) is moderately reactive (chiefly via , lacking the
