Why does the leaving group rarely act as a base in SN1 reactions? The ABC step is exothermic and highly favorable. O The intermediates do not need to be deprotonated during the reaction beacuse they are all stable. Good leaving groups are strong acid derivatives and weak bases. O It is too strong of a base to exist in solution.
