(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stereoisomers that are obtained from the given SN1  reaction has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

  • Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the reversible ionization of alkyl halide in the presence of aqueous acetone or an aqueous ethyl alcohol provides a carbocation as an intermediate, attacked by the nucleophile to form the product.
  • If the leaving group in SN1  reaction is attached to the asymmetric carbon, a pair of enantiomers will be formed.
  • An enantiomer, also known as an optical isomer, is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superimposable.

(b)
