Substrate Structure: Tertiary carbocations are most stable, so the SN1 mechanism is favored with tertiary alkyl halides. Solvent: Polar protic solvents stabilize the carbocation intermediate, aiding the reaction. Nucleophile: The nucleophile can be weak, as its role is secondary to the carbocation fo...
“big barrier” to the SN1 reaction as beingcarbocation stability, That is, any factor which leads to the increased stability of a carbocation intermediate will increase the rate of the SN1. That’s why this pathway tends to be favored by tertiary alkyl halides, since the order of ...

Further, intermolecular dehydration is disfavored by the fact that - both the concentration of bromide ion, and the strength of the bromide ion is more than that of the second molecule of alcohol.. plus they are hindered. Hence, SN2 substitution of C-OH2 into C-Br takes place. ...

Briefly explain why the S_N1 reaction pathway is disfavored with NaI/acetone and the S_N2 pathway is disfavored with AgNO_3/ethanol. How can you use 1H NMR to help distinguish between the following isomers? How can you ...
