If this is a 1 degree alcohol and Iodine anion is strong Nucleophile, then it should go through SN2 and after water leaves, the Iodine should immediately make bond with carbon, and positive charge on carbon should not form after water leaves, and intermediates don't form in SN2.... So why does the rate of rxn even matter here?

Tldr. Sn1, benzylic carbocation forms :)

Yeah benzyl carbocation is stable

#

So it will favour Sn1

#

Alright i get it now thnx

#

I was just memorizing primary sec tertiary, but stability is the real stuff alright got it
