In an SN1 reaction, why does a tertiary carbocation has more reactivity than a primary carbocation. The nucleophile anyhow has to attack the carbocation and a tertiary carbocation will offer steric hindrance. A primary carbocation won’t offer a steric hindrance to the nucleophile. I know a tertiary carbocation is more stable than a primary carbocation but why is steric crowding not taken into consideration?
@ ishaan in this case the stability dominates the hindrance . beacuse the hindrance angle of attack is more , stability will be the factor which taken into consideration , and not steric crowding . HOPE U ARE CLEARS NOW ALL THE BEST . LET ME KNOW IF ANY FURTHER DOUBT ..
