Haloalkanes And Haloarenes Question 4
Question 4 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 1)
The correct statement regarding nucleophilic substitution reaction in a chiral alkyl halide is ;
(1) Retention occurs in $S_{N} 1$ reaction and inversion occurs in $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction.
(2) Racemisation occurs in $S_{N} l$ reaction and retention occurs in $S_{N} 2$ reaction.
(3) Racemisation occurs in both $\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{N}} 1$ and $\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reactions.
(4) Racemisation occurs in $S_{N} 1$ reaction and inversion occurs in $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction.

Answer (4)
Solution
Formula: Nucleophilic-Substitution-Reaction
$\mathrm{SN}^{1}$ - Racemisation
$\mathrm{SN}^{2}$ - Inversion
