Question
The mechanism of SN1 reaction is given as: A student writes general characteristics based on the given mechanism as : (a) The reaction is favoured by weak nucleophiles. (b) R would be easily formed if the substituents are bulky (c) The reaction is accompanied by recemization (d) The reaction i`s favoured by non-polar solvents. Which observations are correct ? (A) (b) and (d) (B) (a) and (c) (C) (a) and (b) (D) (a), (b) and (c)
Answer: D
💡 Solution & Explanation
Above reaction is SN1 reaction as it proceed via formation of carbocation. Polar protic solvent is more suitable for SN1 and racemisation takes place.
