S_N 1 reactions are generally carried out in which type of the solvents?

Options

  1. APolar aprotic solvent.
  2. BNon-polar aprotic solvent.
  3. CPolar protic solvent.
  4. DNon-polar protic solvent.

Correct answer

C. Polar protic solvent.

Step-by-step solution

A polar protic solvent favours S_N 1 mechanism because polar solvents stabilise carbocation formed as an intermediate and reduces the reactivity of the nucleophile.
