Step by step solution

01

How SN1 reaction proceed

1. It is a two step reaction.

2. In this carbocation is formed.

3. In this negative ion will attack from the side where there is less number of bulkier groups.

4. As the carbocation intermediate is formed so the stability order 3° carbocation>2° carbocation>1° carbocation
