Nov 29, 2019 · In the following reaction the products formed are not enantiomers but are diastereomoers.So there is no racemisation occured.So is it always correct to say that SN1 result in …

Jan 7, 2014 · The SN1 is a two-step mechanism which begins with heterolysis of the C-X bond. What triggers this? Are there external causes that prompt the leaving group to simply leave? This question …

Oct 16, 2020 · Straightforward question What would be the outcome of having an SN1 reaction carried out in a polar aprotic solvent? I have found this question approached scarcely and with unsatisfactory …

Mar 16, 2025 · The role of Carbocation stability is very crucial. In SN1 reaction, the first step (which is slow) is the rate determining step. This first step involves the formation of a Carbocation. If the …

Jan 2, 2018 · Why in SN1 reaction the order of reactivity of alkyl halides increases from fluorine to iodine? Ask Question Asked 8 years ago Modified 7 years, 11 months ago

Nov 2, 2019 · Here the issue in question is about rate. Of course, in a real life scenario, both reactions probably take place, the question is which reaction is faster? Well, looking at the reactants here, you …

Dec 3, 2017 · 27 Theoretically, in $\mathrm {S_N1}$ reaction we should get a racemic mixture as the product because the nucleophile can attack from either side of the formed carbocation. However, …

Jan 19, 2017 · The intermediate in an SN1 reaction is a carbocation. The stability of that intermediate determines how favorable that particular reaction is, so a more stable intermediate means a more …

Nov 9, 2022 · The solvent is polar protic, so the mechanism is SN1. However, I don't understand how the composition of water and acetone in the solvent affects the reaction rate.

Jun 20, 2021 · In the SN1 reaction, the product show retention and inversion. Since one of them is major unless it forms a racemic mixture, does it mean that the SN1 reaction is stereospecific?
