  2. BP   →   2 ;   Q   →   1 ;   R   →   3 ;   S &#1
  3. CP → 1 ;   Q → 2 ;   R → 5 ;   S → 4
  4. DP   →   2 ;   Q   →   4 ;   R   →   3 ;   S &#1

Correct answer

B. P   →   2 ;   Q   →   1 ;   R   →   3 ;   S &#1

Step-by-step solution

1 - Bromo - 2 - ethylpentane ( Single   enantiomer )     → S N   2     reaction aq .  NaOH 2 - ethylpentanol In the above reaction the chiral carbon is not involving in the reaction as S N 2 reaction takes place via formation of transition state but not through formation of intermediate. In the above reaction, bromine attached to chiral carbon, and it is involving in S N 2 reaction. Hence, the alcohol formed in inversion configuration. The substrate is undergoing S N 1 react
