What is the main factor favouring an SN1 reaction mechanism?
b. Stability of the intermediate cation
c. Steric hindrance in the transition state
d. Polarity of the solvent
e. Strength of the nucleophile
Answer:
The answers I would put first in here are :
A , D.
I believe A comes first. The solvent plays a less important role than the "breakability" of the bound to the leaving group.
There is also the "size" of the carbonated chains of the reactant that matter a lot.
But here I would say A. Still I am not certain...
in majority of cases it's quality of leaving group however if the transition state is highly stabilised then the latter is more imp
the main factor is (a)
and if another has to choose then second main factor is(d).
