Interpretation:
It is to be determined whether the given overall reaction occurs by
Concept introduction:
In the given reaction, the good leaving group bromine (Br) is attached to tertiary carbon atom and there is also presence of polar protic solvent. Also, the products of the given reaction are enantiomers, indicating that the racemic mixture is formed. All these factors suggest that the reaction should follow
The carbocation intermediate formed in
