1I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY CASE WHERE AQ. KOH SUBSTITUTE BY SN1NOT EVEN IN 3 DEGREE IF U KNOW PLZ SPECIFY.
11first of all remember that KOH is ionic and it is used as a reagant in the organic reactions
there is no point in confusion
chemistry is a wonderful pack of facts and fundamentals
and according to me its a fundamental
1KOH dissociates to K+ and OH- easily.
and,
OH- is a good nucleophile. [am not sure wid the reason... but thot it shud be so]
3isnt sn2 fav by aprotic non polar med .........???????????????????? cuz the nucleophile is more stabilized than the intermediate in such cases and thus Ea increases ????????
where am i going rong????????????:(((((((((((
3and in polar solvents i think OH- becomes pretty weak as its demobilised by H bonding .......
i kno i suck at this .... pls tell me where im goin rong........
