Question

Select whether the following combinations of reactants will react by substitution $(S_{N^1}or{S}_{N^2}$ mechanism), elimination ($E_{1}or{E}_2$ mechanism).

• A. $\left(S_{N^1}\right)$
• B. $\left(S_{N^2}\right)$
• C. $E_1$
• D. $E_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\left(S_{N^1}\right)$

The following reaction takes place by $S{N}^1$ mechanism.In $S{N}^1$ mechanism the stability of carbocation alters the rate of the reaction.
