Homework Statement
Which will undergo faster Williamson ether syntehsis
It was either faster or better, I'm not sure
A)3-Chlorobutan-1-ene
B)1-Bromobutane
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought option A because of its alylic position it will form a stable carbocation (and through SN1)
Is it correct? Or is it B because bromine is more weakly bound to the primary carbon
Thank you :-)
