SN1 SN2 E1 Series: Video 11
In this final SN1 video you'll see tricky examples involving less substituted carbocation intermediates followed by carbocation rearrangements and hydride shifts.
When working through these reactions pay special attention to the patterns that help determine the SN1 mechanism over a potential SN2 or E2
