The S<sub>N</sub>1 reaction belongs to the basic reaction in organic chemistry. The number 1 says that it is a monomolecular reaction. This means that in the rate determining step of the reaction, only one of the educts is involved. The kinetic of the reaction therefore follows the reation rate of first order.


Examples of SN1 reactions are ...
In general, substitutions exchange substituents in an organic molecule. One example of an S<sub>N</sub>1 reactions are the exchange of the Hydroxide in <i>tert</i>-Butanol by a Chloride Ion or
