- Sodium iodide reacts with alkyl halides in acetone to give sodium chloride and - Iodide is a good nucleophile, and acetone is a poor ionizing solvent. - Thus, this reaction proceeds by the \( S_{N} 2 \) mechanism. What will the relative reactivity of methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl chlorides be? ethyl \( > \) methyl \( > \) isopropyl isopropyl \( > \) ethyl \( > \) methyl methyl \( > \) ethyl \( > \) isopropyl methyl \( > \) isopropyl \( > \) ethyl
