Question
Chapter 11.1, Problem 1P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The product expected during the substitution reaction of [S]-2-bromohexane with acetate ion is to be determined. The stereo chemistry of both the reactant and the product has to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In SN2 reaction when a nucleophile OH- ion approaches the Carbon atom the halide group on the opposite side of the carbon atom leaves immediately by altering the stereochemistry.
To determine:
The SN2 reaction between [S]-2-bromohexane and acetate ion.
