Best Answer

For Sn1 reaction the rate usually increases due to steric acceleration. For example the more methyl groups a compound has i.e the more tertiary it is the faster the rate of reaction will be for an Sn1 reaction.

How can penicillin be structurally modified to overcome bacterial resistance?

In the bicyclic system, a bulky group can be added to position 6. This creates a steric shield which leads to steric hindrance. The beta-lactam ring is hence more protected and the drug can become more resistant to beta-lactamases of bacteria.
