Test: SN1 Reactions - Question 1

In SN1 reaction, racemisation occurs if the reaction occurs at a stereogenic centre, however, 50:50 mixture of enantiomers are rarely obtained, why?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN1 Reactions - Question 1

In SN1 reaction, some of the substrate, even after ionisation, remains associated as an intimate ion pair preventing nucleophilic attacks from front side and gives inverted product.


Due to partial reaction of nucleophile with intimate ion pair, net inversion of configuration is observed although predominant reaction occurs at planar carbocation giving racemic products.

Test: SN1 Reactions - Question 5

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true for SN1 reaction?

Rate of SN1 reaction is directly proportional to concentration of alkyl halide but independent of concentration of nucleophile. Non-polar solvents play no role in SN1 reaction.

Test: SN1 Reactions - Question 6

Pick out the strongest substrate(s) for a SN1 reaction.

Q. 

What is/are true regarding a SN1 reaction?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN1 Reactions - Question 13

H2O has higher solvating power than CH3CH2OH,hence faster SN1 reaction occur in H2O. Reaction proceeds via carbocation intermediate, it passes through more than one transition states. Due to the presence of some intimate ion pair, SN1 reaction occur resulting in partial racemisation and net inversion of configuration.
Since, nucleophile is not involved in rate determining step, reaction occur at same rate with both CH318OH and CH3OH.

*Multiple options can be correct
