The difference between SN1 and SN2 mechanism is that SN1 involves a carbocation intermediate in a two-step process, while SN2 is a one-step reaction with nucleophilic attack and leaving group departure occurring simultaneously. 4. Explain the difference between SN1 and SN2 with examples. The dif...
On the other hand, Sn1 reactions are unimolecular in rate of reaction and have a step-wise mechanism. This process first involves bond cleavage by the LG to generate a carbocation intermediate.The stability of carbocation formation will determine if Sn1 or Sn2 reactions occur.In the second step...
