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

A

100% racemisation

B

inversion more than retention leading to partial recemisation

C

100% retention

D

100% inversion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In `S_(N)1` reaction, frontside attack by nucleophile is not feasible till the leaving group completly removes from the reactant. Thus, backside attack occurs to a greater extent. Hence, partial recemisation occurs.
