Identify the compound that undergoes $\mathrm{SN}^1$ mechanism most fastly.

Identify the compound that undergoes $\mathrm{SN}^1$ mechanism most fastly.

Solution

The more stable the carbocation intermediate, the faster the $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ mechanism. It gives tertiary carbocation, which is most stable among others so it undergoes $\mathrm{SN}^1$ mechanism most fastly
