Answer:
The correct answer is (b) racemisation .
Explanation:
- Sn1 is a type of nucleophilic substitution reaction. The name comes from Hughes-Ingold symbol of the mechanism. Sn stands for nucleophilic substitution reaction and 1 refers to the rate-determining step as unimolecular.
- Racemization is a process in which an optically active compound gets converted into a mixture of equal enantiomers which have zero optical activity. The rate is dependent on molecules and other physical factors like temperature, pH .
- In sn1 reaction racemization takes place as a group which can either be a base or nucleophile attacks from both sides.
