What type of hybridisation is present in carbocation formed during the alkaline hydrolysis of 1- bromo -1- phenyl ethane?
Options
- AS P 2
- BS P
- Cd 2 S P 3
- DS P 3
Correct answer
A. S P 2
Step-by-step solution
Alkaline hydrolysis of 1- bromo -1- phenylethane produce 1- phenylethan – 1 – ol. The reaction proceed via S N 1 reaction . A carbocation is formed in the slow step of an S N 1 reaction. The positively charged carbon of the carbocation intermediate to an S P 2 - hybridised are in the same plane. Reaction involved is as follows:
