Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction

(i) SN1 (unimolecular nucleophilic substitution)

Those reactions in which rate of the reaction varies


linearly with the concentration of substrate.

r ∝ [substrate]
r = k[substrate]

SN1 (unimolecular nucleophilic substitution)

● It is a first order reaction.

● It is unimolecular as well.

● SN1 reaction gets completed in three steps.

SN1 (unimolecular nucleophilic substitution)

Step 1: Ionisation Step


/ Formation of
Carbocation

tert alkyl halide

Step 2: Formation of
protonated alcohol

Step 3: Formation
of alcohol (product)

All the intermediates of the reaction is carbocation, hence


rearrangement of carbocation is possible.

Factors affecting SN1 Reaction Rate
(i) Substrate structure Rate of SN1 reaction Stability of carbocation
Of any substrate
∝ formed in R.D.S

Reactivity order

3o > 2o > 1o > 0o

wassimbhatt
Factors affecting SN1 Reaction Rate
(ii) Presence of 𝝿 - bond at ‘𝝰’ position w.r.t leaving group

Vinyl halide

Aryl halide

Therefore, rate of SN1 reaction decreases.

Factors affecting SN1 Reaction Rate
(iii) Presence of 𝝿 bond at ‘𝛃’ position w.r.t leaving group

Allyl halide

Benzyl halide

In these compounds, rate towards SN1 is more


because of more stability due to resonance.

Factors affecting SN1 Reaction Rate
(iv) Presence of heteroatom at ‘𝝰’ position w.r.t to leaving group

More stable
carbocation due to
back bonding

wassimbhatt
Factors affecting SN1 Reaction Rate
(v) Presence of electron withdrawing group (EWG) in substrate

EWG

E.W.G decreases stability of carbocation. Hence


rate of reaction towards SN1 decreases.

wassimbhatt
Factors affecting SN1 Reaction Rate
(vi) Effect of solvent

● Rate of SN1 reaction ∝ Dielectric constant of solvent

● In general polar protic solvent like H2O, ROH etc.


favours SN1 reaction.

(vi) Effect of leaving group

● Rate of SN1 reaction ∝ leaving ability of group

(viii) Rate of SN1 is enhanced in the presence of Lewis acid or


ionic salts or cation

Rate2 > Rate1

Stereochemistry of SN1

Inversion during SN1 > Retention and we get mixture of


R and S form(Partial racemisation)

Note:
Racemisation ∝ Stability of carbocation
∝ 1/strength of nucleophile
