Which type of product is optain in SN1 reaction??
Answers
Answer:
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)

Answer:
Two products are formed when a chiral substrate that possesses an asymmetric, electrophilic carbon is applied in an SN1 reaction. One of them has the same absolute configuration as the starting product (if, according to the CIP rules, the leaving group and the nucleophile have the same position in the priority order of the substituents), which is called retention. In contrast, the other product possesses the opposite absolute configuration, known as inversion. In SN1 reactions, the nucleofuge exits the substrate before the nucleophilic attack can ever occur. Thus, an intermediate carbocation is then formed. Due to the carbocation's trigonal planar shape, its two enantiotopic sides are susceptible to attack by the nucleophile with the same probability.
