Chapter 6, Problem 41DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A compound that undergoes substitution by SN1 mechanism at the fastest rate is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

For SN1 reactions, the rate determining step is the formation of the intermediate carbocation.

The order of stability of carbocations is: primary < secondary < tertiary

More stable carbocations are formed faster than less stable carbocations. Thus, tertiary alkyl halides react fastest while primary alkyl halides react slowest for SN1 reactions
