Which among the following is NOT correct statement about S _ N l reaction?
Options
- AA more powerful nucleophile favours S_N l mechanism.
- BS _ N l reaction proceeds via formation of carbocation intermediate.
- CS _ N 1 reaction proceeds more rapidly in polar protic solvent.
- DThe rate of S _ N l mechanism is independent of the nature of nucleophile.
Correct answer
A. A more powerful nucleophile favours S_N l mechanism.
Step-by-step solution
A more powerful nucleophile attacks the substrate faster and favours S _ N 2 mechanism.
