Its 2-bromo 2-phenylsince benzyllic carbocation is highly stable.

anonymous · Answer

it's a multiple correct question
what about someothers?

anonymous · Answer

this question came in test and the answer key had three compounds. i don't know which three.

anonymous · Answer

err ok tert butyl iodide will also react faster as I- is more stable than Br-
3 bromo  but1-ene is also faster as the carbocation is resonance stabilized.

anonymous · Answer

ok. thanks

I would suggest a good organic book like Morrison & Boyd its very useful for stuff like these.
