The organic chloro compound, which shows complete stereochemical inversion during a S _ N 2 reaction, is
Options
- A( C ₂ H ₅ )₂ CHCl
- B( CH ₃ )₃ CCl
- C( CH ₃ )₂ CHCl
- DCH ₃ Cl
Correct answer
D. CH ₃ Cl
Step-by-step solution
For S _ N 2 reaction, the C atom is least hindered towards the attack of nucleophile in the case of ( CH ₃ Cl ) . Hence, (D) is the correct answer.
