Concept introduction:Unimolecuar substitution or SN1 proceeds via a two-step mechanism. The first slow step that determines the rate is the removal of the leaving group from the substrate haloalkane and generates a carbocation. Since the rate is only governed by substrate alone and no other nucleophile or solvent it is termed as an unimolecular substitution. The final step is the attack of the nucleophile on carbocation generated and the formation of racemic products.

A general SN1 reaction mechanistic pathway is illustrated below:

Students have asked these similar questions
For each reaction below, decide if the first stable organic product that forms in solution will create a new CC bond, and check the appropriate box. Next, for each reaction to which you answered "Yes" to in the table, draw this product in the drawing area below. Note for advanced students: for this problem, don't worry if you think this product will continue to react under the current conditions - just focus on the first stable product you expect to form in solution. དྲ。 ✗MgBr ?
