Solvolysis of a Chiral Reactant results in the Racemate (as expected in SN1) but is often accompanied by Walden Inversion . This is explained by postulating an Intimate Ion Pair whereby the leaving Anion is still in close proximity to the Carbocation and effectively shielding it from an attack by the nucleophile. |
