SN1 Reactions, Carbocations, and Rearrangement – part 2 - Dr K. Cossey

In this video, SN1 reactions are explained in greater detail. Another SN1 mechanism is shown, and then stability of carbocations (C+) is explained. Finally, a rearrangement mechanism are discussed in detail. *Please watch part 1 of these videos to see more examples of SN1 reaction and a more detailed explanation of the mechanism. In addition, scientific evidence that explains how scientists learned that SN1 and SN2 were operating by different mechanisms were discussed.
