With the help of a chemical equation show how will you convert 2-propanol to 1-bromo-propane.
In the SN2 mechanism, the reactivity of halides for same halides group increase down the group. Because increase in size increase, the halide becomes a better leaving group. Therefore, CH3I will react faster than CH3Br in SN2 reactions with OH-.
Give one reason why the organic halogen compounds used as solvents in industry are chlorides rather than bromides.
