Question

Which of the following statements regarding the
SN1 reaction shown by alkyl halide is not correct ?
[a] The added nucleophile plays no kinetic role in
SN1 reaction
[b] The SN1 reaction involves the inversion of
configuration of the optically active substrate
(c)The SN1 reaction on the chiral starting material
ends up with racemization of the product
[d] The more stable the carbocation intermediate
the faster the Sn1 reaction​

Answer 1

Explanation:

[b] The SN1 reaction involves the inversion of

configuration of the optically active substrate.

SN1 reaction gives Racemization of product.

Equimolar amount of dextro and leavo isomer.

Hence (b) is correct answer.
