@MAQ,
sorry,the answer is incorrect,This is my confusion regarding this!
first clarify my doubt prateek... in SN1 mechanism, will there be migration/transfer of positive charge formed on d compound...?
yes it can be if there is any other suitable/stable place for it...
now clear my doubt.... the second position u mentioned earlier is which second one from right or from left....
now, first the OH- group will be replaced by Br- group... this will give one product...
else, the positive charge formed after OH- group leaves, will migrate or transfer to d first carbon atom and then Br- will react... this will give second product...
but i'm unable to decide d stable product... infact, i haven't read alcohols from a long time, so dont remember anything... [2]
