The highest energy transition state in the solvolysis of [tex](CH_{3} )_{3} CI[/tex] in [tex]CH_{3} OH[/tex] is given as ,
The mechanism of solvolysis of tert-butyl iodide follow nucleophilic substitution reaction . The nucleophilc substitution reaction are two types one unimolecular and second bimolecular nucleophilc substitution .
The mechanism of solvolysis of tert-butyl iodide follows unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction in which carbocation is the intermediate which as a transition state of it. The carbocation formed by solvolysis of tert-butyl iodide is 3° carbocation or tertiary carbocation which is most stable. The methanol as neutral nucleophile and oxygen of methanol attack at carbocation intermediate.
Therefore , the highest energy transition state in the solvolysis of [tex](CH_{3} )_{3} CI[/tex] in [tex]CH_{3} OH[/tex] is given .
