Which of the following statements are correct about the mechanism of this reaction ?

Options

A. A carbocation will be formed as an intermediate in the reaction.
B. `OH^(-)` will attach the substrate (ii) from one side and `Cl^(-)` will leave it simultaneously from other side.
C. An unstable intermediate will be formed in which `OH^(-)` and `Cl^(-)` will be attached by weak bonds.
D. Reaction proceeds through `S_(N)1` mechanism.

Answer

A, D

Explanation

The `2^(@)` alkyl halide in presence of `OH^(-)` proceeds through `S_(N)1` reaction by formation of carbocation intermediate.
