Alkaline hydrolysis of 1- bromo -1- phenylethane produce 1- phenylethan – 1 – ol. The reaction proceed via S N 1 reaction . A carbocation is formed in the slow step of an S N 1 reaction. The positively charged carbon of the carbocation intermediate to an S P 2 - hybridised are in the same plane. Reaction involved is as follows:
