Question

How do polar solvents help in the first step in sn1 mechanism?

Answer 1

It is well known that SN1 mechanismis a two step mechanism in which thefirst step involves the formation of ions and now we can predict that, ions are easily solvated by polar solventsand this results into the enhancement of the reaction process.D
