Question

Explain the effect of solvent dielectric constant in sn1 mechanism

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sometimes in an SN1 reaction the solvent acts as the nucleophile. This is called a solvolysis reaction (see example below). ... So for our purposes, the higher the dielectric constant the more polar the substance and in the case of SN1 reactions, the faster the rate.
