SN1 reaction is a:

Correct answer: B. Two-step reactions

  • A. Multi-step reaction
  • B. Two-step reactions
  • C. Concerted reaction
  • D. Three-step reaction

Explanation

SN1 reaction mechanism follows a step-by-step process wherein first, the carbo-cation is formed from the removal of the leaving group. Then the carbo-cation is attacked by the nucleophile. Finally, the deprotonation of the protonated nucleophile takes place to give the required product.

About Alkyl Halides

Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
