(a)
Interpretation:
The configuration of the chiral center must be assigned to the substrate.
Concept Introduction :
The absolute configuration of a chiral center depends on the nature of substituents. The absolute configuration is determined using CIP (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog) priority rule according to which priority of a group is higher if the
(b)
Interpretation:
The configuration of the chiral center must be assigned in the product.
Concept Introduction :
The absolute configuration of a chiral center depends on the nature of substituents. The absolute configuration is determined using CIP (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog) priority rule according to which priority of a group is higher if atomic number is higher.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the given SN2 reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration must be explained.
Concept Introduction :
The SN2 reaction involves back side attack of the nucleophile which results in inversion of configuration.
