Answer:
Correct Answer: 31. (d)
Solution:
- Key idea All the reactions involved in the problem are Nucleophilic substitution of second order i.e.,
which have the speciality of inversion of configuration at the carbon atom involved.
Of the reactions given
Reaction 1 in its generalised format is seen as
Reaction 2 is simple halogen exchange reaction called Finkelstein reaction. Its generalised format is
where
Reaction 3 in its generalised format seen as
Now if the given product is
and which is too enantiomerically pure i.e.
Note The configuration at carbon * atom in ’
Thus, the probable reactions will be
