The S<sub>N</sub>1 reaction belongs to the basic reaction in organic chemistry. The number 1 says that it is a monomolecular reaction. This means that in the rate determining step of the reaction, only one of the educts is involved. The kinetic of the reaction therefore follows the reation rate of first order. | The S<sub>N</sub>1 reaction belongs to the basic reaction in organic chemistry.
