Explain why the following primary substrate undergoes SN1 very rapidly (the OTs is the leaving group)? Apparently this question is super easy, but I can't seem to figure it out. Is it because a primary substrate cannot undergo an SN1 reaction, only an SN2 reaction, a carbocation does not form.... ?
