Q. Following reaction,
$ \left(CH_{3}\right)_{3}\,CBr +H_{2}O \to\left(CH_{3}\right)_{3}\,COH +HBr $ is an example of

MHT CETMHT CET 2008

Solution:

$\left. ( C H _{3}\right)_{3} CBr + H _{2} O \longrightarrow \left( CH _{3}\right)_{3} C - OH + HBr$

$Br$ is substituted by—$OH^{-}$ (nucleophile)

$S _{ N } 1$ (unimolecular substitution reaction)
