In an `S_(N)1`reaction on chiral centres, there is

A

inversion more than retention reading to partial racemization

B

100% retention

C

100% conversion

D

100% racemization

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Since inversion product exceeds the retention product, therefore, only partial racemization is observed, i.e., option (a) is correct.
