Question

Explain by giving example with mechanism why sn1 reaction we get racemic mixture​

Answer 1

Answer:

The carbocation intermediate's plane of symmetry allows the nucleophile to attack equally well from either side. The product is then a racemic mixture of enantiomers. Thus, a chiral substrate loses chirality in a reaction that occurs by an SN1 mechanism.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• SN1 reaction corresponds to unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. ... The rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of tert butyl bromide but it is independent of the concentration of NaOH. Hence, the rate determining step only involves tert-butyl bromide. In SN1 reaction, racemic mixture is obtained.
