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 $S _N 2$ reaction.
(2) Racemisation occurs in $S _N l$ reaction and retention occurs in $S _N 2$ reaction.
(3) Racemisation occurs in both $S _N 1$ and $S _N 2$ reactions.
(4) Racemisation occurs in $S _N 1$ reaction and inversion occurs in $S _N 2$ reaction.
