A difference in aqueous nucleophilicity between cl- and br

Reference no: EM13310331

The difference in aqueous nucleophilicity between Cl- and Br- is observed in the product distribution for the Sn2 reaction of 1-butanol (n-butyl alcohol) but not for the Sn1 reaction of 2-methyl-2-propanol (tert-butyl alcohol). Briefly explain this in terms of the Sn rate laws.
