JEE Main 2020 · 3 September · Morning Shift · Chemistry · Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
The mechanism of Sn1 reaction is given as: R - X ⟶ R ^ ⊕ X ^ ⊖ ⟶ R...
The mechanism of Sn1 reaction is given as:
A student writes general characteristics based on the given mechanism as :
(a) The reaction is favoured by weak nucleophiles.
(b) would be easily formed if the substituents are bulky
(c) The reaction is accompanied by recemization
(d) The reaction is favoured by non-polar solvents.
Which observations are correct?
Options
- A(a) and (b)
- B(a) and (c)
- C(a), (b) and (c)
- D(b) and (d)
Correct answer
C. (a), (b) and (c)
Step-by-step solution
Above reaction is reaction as it proceed via formation of carbocation. Polar protic solvent is more suitable for and recemisation takes place.
