Question

Following reaction (CH3)3CBr + H2O $\longrightarrow$

(CH3)3COH + HBr is an example of

• A. Elimination reaction
• B. Free radical substitution
• C. Nucleophilic substitution
• D. Electrophilic substitution

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Nucleophilic substitution

Answer 2

$\left( \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \right) _ { 3 } \mathrm { CBr } + \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } \longrightarrow \left( \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \right) _ { 3 } \mathrm { COH } + \mathrm { HBr }$

It is SN1 reaction
