Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Tertiary alkyl halides shows S N 1
mechanism
to the greater extent. In the given reaction negative
ion will attack on carbocation. Thus, greater the
tendency of ionization (greater ionic character in
M-F bond) more favourable will be reaction. In the
given options Rb-F is most ionic and hence it will be
most favourable for S N 1
mechanism.
