Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 166
Question: The following reaction is described as [CBSE PMT 1997] $ \begin{matrix} CH_3{{(CH_2)}_5} \\ {} \\ H_3C \\ \end{matrix}>\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}},}},-Br\xrightarrow{OH}HO-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}},}},<\begin{matrix} {{(CH_2)}_5}CH_3 \\ {} \\ CH_3, \\ \end{matrix} $
Options:
A) $ SE^{2} $
B) $ SN^{1} $
C) $ SN^{2} $
D) $ SN^{0} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
In this reaction inversion of configuration takes place this is called optical inversion.
It is an example of $ SN^{2} $ reaction (Bimolecular Nucleophillic Substitution).
