Question

explain reactions with retention of configiuration

Answer 1

Retention in configuration means that the symmetry of the substrate before and after Reaction is same. For example: If a reactant has R−(Right) configuration and after reacting it retains its R− configuration. In SN1 mechanism, the reaction takes place by retention of configuration.
