HALOALKANES AND HALOARENES
90884
An incorrect statement with respect to $S_{N} 1$ and $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ mechanism for alkyl halide is-
1 a strong nucleophile is an aprotic solvent increases the rate or favours $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction.
2 Competing reaction for $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction is rearrangement
3 $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ reactions can be catalysed by some Lewis acids
4 a weak nucleophile and a protic solvent increases the rate of $S_{N} 1$ reaction
Explanation:
In $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction for alkyl halide, the configuration of carbon is changed (i.e. inversion of configuration).
