Step by step solution

01

Definition of SN1 reaction

The two-steps process reaction formed by the formation of the carbocation, followed by the attack of a nucleophile to replace the leaving group, is known asSN1reaction.

In this reaction, a nucleophile takes the place of a leaving group. Since the rate of a reaction depends only on the concentration of the substrate, hence a unimolecular substitution reaction.

02

Definition of E1 reaction

An E1 reaction is a two-step process reaction formed by the formation of the carbocation and the loss of a proton fromβcarbon and a leaving group takes place to form an alkene.

The rate of a reaction depends only on the concentration of the substrate hence a unimolecular elimination reaction.

03

Types of base/nucleophile use

Weak bases and weak nucleophiles promote a mixture of both SN1and E1 reactions. Both water and ethanol are a weak base and a weak nucleophile. Hence the products formed are both SN1and E1 products.

Hence, considering all the explanations, the SN1and E1 products from each reaction are given below:-

Products of reaction a

A substitution and an elimination product are formed from the above reaction scheme.

Products of reaction b

The above reaction scheme yields a substitution and an elimination product.
