Question

What is SN1 reaction? What type of product is formed in it and why ?​

Answer 1

The SN1 Mechanism. A nucleophilic substitution reaction that occurs by an SN1 mechanism proceeds in two steps. In the first step, the bond between the carbon atom and the leaving group breaks to produce a carbocation and, most commonly, an anionic leaving group.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Stereochemistry Of The SN1 Reaction: A Mixture of Retention and Inversion is Observed. If we start with an enantiomerically pure product, (that is, one enantiomer), these reactions tend to result in a mixture of products where the stereochemistry is the same as the starting material (retention) or opposite (inversion).
