The given compounds should be ranked in the ordered of most reactive to the least reactive in
Concept Introduction:
An
For alkyl halide (tertiary, benzylic, and allylic) that can undergo both
A good nucleophile/strong base favors
In secondary
In tertiary alkyl halides only elimination takes place.
Allylic and benzylic halides substitution and elimination takes place (unless they are tertiary).
Tertiary alkyl halides, allylic halides and benzylic halides: substitution and elimination with substitution favored.
