Question

Total number of SN$_1$ products of given compound are

Answer 1

4.0

Answer 2

In the substrate, the chlorine is attached to a cyclohexane carbon that is chiral once the leaving group departs. In an SN₁ reaction the leaving group (Cl) leaves, forming a planar carbocation. Attack of the nucleophile (Cl⁻) from either face produces two stereoisomers at that center. Since the molecule already has another chiral center (the carbon bearing the CH₃ group) that remains unchanged, the newly formed chiral center combines with the pre‐existing one giving rise to 2 × 2 = 4 stereoisomeric products.
