svlad2 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid


As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base

The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance

More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid

Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid

The SN1 reaction yields Entry field with incorrect answer two (number) products. This is because ______________________. Entry f
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Four substitution products are obtained. The carbocation that forms can react with either nucleophile (H2O or CH3OH) from either the top or bottom side of the molecule

Explanation:

An SN1 reaction usually involves the formation of a carbocation in the slow rate determining step. This carbocation is now attacked by a nucleophile in a subsequent fast step to give the desired product.

However, the product is obtained as a racemic mixture because the nucleophile may attack from the top or bottom of the carbocation hence both attacks are equally probable.

The attacking nucleophile in this case may be water or CH3OH
