• In MeOH both Na+ and N3- are solvated.
• In DMF only Na+ is solvated, but not N3-.

SN1 reaction : Stereochemistry
SN1: Hydrolysis of t-butyl chloride by base proceed according to
Rate = k1[t-BuCl] or independent of [OH-]
1. Halide undergoes slow ionization to yield the ion pair R+ and Cl- followed by first attack by –OH or solvent or nuleophile.
2. The energy necessary to effect the initial ionization is largely recovered from the energy evolved through solvation of the resultant ion-pair.

SN1 reaction : Effect of Nucleophile Effect of Nucleophile
Nucleophiles in SN1
Since nucleophilic addition occurs after formation of carbocation, reaction rate is not normally affected by nature or concentration of nucleophile (weak nucleophile)
A protic solvent acts as both a solvent and nucleophile in SN1

Dielectric constant (, at 25 C): H2O 79

Solvent effect
Increase in dielectric constant and/or ion-solvating ability result in a marked increase in reaction rate
Polar protic solvents favoring the SN1 reaction since it stabilizes carbocation of the transition state
Protic solvents disfavor the SN2 reaction by stabilizing the ground state
Transfer from polar, protic to polar, aprotic solvents can change the reaction mode from SN1 SN2
