Nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reaction is mainly of two types: S_(N)1 and S_(N)2 . The S_(N)1 mechanism is a two step process. Reaction velocity of S_(N)1 reaction depends only on the concentration of the substrate. Since product formation takes place by the formation of carbocation, optically active substrate gives (+) and (-) forms of the product. In most of the cases the product usually consits of 5-20% inverted product and 80-95% racemised species. The more stable the carbocation, the greater is the proportion of racemisation. In solvolysis reaction, the more nucleophilic the solvent, the greater is the proportion of inversion. For the gives reaction, Which substrate will give maximum racemisation?
