Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rapid reaction via ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ mechanism of the given primary substrate is to be interpreted.

  

Concept introduction: A molecule can have both nucleophilic and electrophilic centers. An electrophilic center must be electron-deficient and can form a bond with a nucleophile. Here the nucleophile is an electron-rich species that can react with cation or any other electrophile. The ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ mechanism involves the loss of leaving group and the attack of nucleophiles in separate steps with the formation of carbocation as an intermediate.
