Chapter 11: Q 11-11-20 P-c (page 347)

Tell whether each of the following reactions is likely to be SN1, SN2, E1, E1cB or E2:

c)

Short Answer

Expert verified

c) The given reaction is SN1reaction.


Step by step solution

01

SN1 reaction

A SN1reaction is a two-step nucleophilic substitution reaction. It involves the loss of leaving group followed by the nucleophilic attack.The loss of leaving group generates carbocation.

02

Whether the reaction is SN1, SN2, E1, E1cB or E2

c) The given reaction occurs by the SN1 mechanism because the substrate of the reaction is tertiary, and we know that tertiary substrates form substitution products by SN1route.
