If a reaction forms a carbocation a rearrangement is always a possibility. In the SN1 mechanism (SN1 Reaction) if a carbocation reactive intermediate has the potential to rearrange it will. A carbocation will rearrange from a cation with higher energy to a carbocation with lower potential energy. For example, a secondary carbocation will rearrange to a tertiary carbocation.

Failing organic chemistry? You do not have to fail Organic Chemistry!

This video is part of a series called How to be Successful in Organic Chemistry. In this series I go over numerous problems that a student could expect to see in there organic chemistry 1 course. Doing organic chemistry practice problems will make you more successful in organic chemistry and biochemistry.

I recommend that you download the problem from the link below and attempt the problem yourself and use this video to correct your work.
