The concept of the SN1 mechanism is due to the results of countless experiments, such as the following:
1. According to the kinetics of SN1 reactions, their rate depends only on the alkyl halide's (substrate's) concentration: Reaction rate = k [RX].
2. The rate of the reaction between alkyl bromides and water decreases according to the degree of substitution of the carbon that carries a bromine atom. SN2 reactions proceed particularly slowly either if the substrate is sterically-demanding (that is, the attack of the nucleophile is prevented) or the nucelophile is electrically neutral, or if the solvent is protic. It might therefore be expected that a tertiary alkyl halide may react only very slowly with water (nucleophile and solvent). However, the reaction of 2-bromo-2-methylpropane with water, which yields 2-methylpropan-2-ol, is more than one million times faster than the corresponding reaction of methyl bromide that results in methanol.
