Question

Major product of the following $S_{N}1$ reaction is:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D. None is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Here $B{r}^{-}$ is removed in the first step giving a carbocation which is rearranged by hydride transfer to form a more stable $3^{\circ }$ carbocation. Then $C_2{H}_{5}OH$ attacks $3^{\circ }$ carbocation to form product.
