Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of nucleophilic substitution reactions. These reactions involve 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, E1, E2, and SN1. The Diels-Alder reaction is a cycloaddition, E1 and E2 are elimination reactions, and SN1 is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Recognize that the SN1 reaction fits the criteria for a nucleophilic substitution reaction, as it involves the substitution of a leaving group by a nucleophile.

Conclude that among the options provided, the SN1 reaction is the correct example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction in organic chemistry.
