Which of the following reactions is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction?
A
Diels-Alder reaction
B
E1 reaction
C
SN1 reaction
D
E2 reaction
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a nucleophilic substitution reaction: It involves the replacement of a leaving group by a nucleophile. The two main types are SN1 and SN2 reactions.
Identify the characteristics of an SN1 reaction: It is a two-step process where the leaving group departs first, forming a carbocation intermediate, followed by the nucleophile attacking the carbocation.
Compare the given reactions: Diels-Alder is a cycloaddition reaction, E1 is an elimination reaction, and E2 is also an elimination reaction.
Recognize that the SN1 reaction fits the definition of a nucleophilic substitution reaction, as it involves a nucleophile replacing a leaving group.
Conclude that among the options provided, the SN1 reaction is the example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
