Choose the false statement from following about SN ^1 reaction mechanism.

Options

  1. AIntermediate formed during the reaction is a carbocation.
  2. BIt is single step mechanism.
  3. CConcentration of nucleophile does not affect the rate of reaction.
  4. DRacemization takes place if reaction is carried out at chiral carbon in optically active substance.

Correct answer

B. It is single step mechanism.

Step-by-step solution

The false statement about SN1 (Substitution Nucleophilic Unimolecular) reaction mechanism is: (D) It is a single-step mechanism. The SN1 reaction mechanism is a two-step process. In the first step, the leaving group departs, generating a carbocation intermediate. In the second step, the nucleophile attacks the carbocation, leading to the formation of the substitution product. The correct statement regarding SN1 reaction mechanism is: (A) Racemization takes place if the reaction is carried out at a chiral carbon in
