Which of the following reactions is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction in organic chemistry?
A
E2 reaction
B
E1 reaction
C
SN1 reaction
D
Diels-Alder reaction
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a nucleophilic substitution reaction: It involves the replacement of a leaving group in a molecule by a nucleophile.
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 SN1 reaction with other types of reactions: E2 and E1 are elimination reactions, not substitution, and the Diels-Alder reaction is a cycloaddition reaction.
Recognize that the SN1 reaction fits the definition of a nucleophilic substitution reaction because it involves a nucleophile replacing a leaving group.
Conclude that among the given options, the SN1 reaction is the correct example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
