Which of the following statements are correct about the mechanism of this reaction ?A. A carbocation will be formed as an intermediate in the reactionB. `OH^(-)` will attach the substrate (ii) from one side and `Cl^(-)` will leave it simultaneously from other sideC. An unstable intermediate will be formed in which `OH^(-)` and `Cl^(-)` will be attached by weak bondsD. Reactions proceeds through `S_(N)1` mechanism |
Answer» Correct Answer - A::D The reactant involved in above reaction is secondary alkyl halide. This `2^(@)` alkyl halide contain bulky group thats why it follow `S_(N)1` mechanism instead of `S_(N^(2))` mechanism, a stable carbocation will be formed as an intermediate. It is further attacked by `HO^(-)` nucleophile |
