SN1 SN2 E1 Series: Video 16
Unimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution video 2 of 3 – this video takes you through additional SN1 reaction mechanism examples.
As you work through this video pay attention to the logic, concepts, and especially patterns.
Doing so will help you understand when to choose SN1 while avoiding confusing memorization

Dear ma’am,
I would like to share in given example , the products mixture are not enantiomers to give recemic mixture rather , here, the products would be diastreomers.
Please confirm me as well.
The Second mecanism you did with stereochemistry around 5:00. Why couldn’t it be E1 reaction , and why did you go for the secondary carbocation instead of the more stabil 3 carbocation ?? 🙂
Why isnt there a hydride shift to form a more stable tertiary carbocation intermediate in the second reaction of the video?
