The organic chloro compound, which shows complete stereochemical inversion during a SN2\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2 reaction, is

Options

  1. A(C2H5)2CHCl\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{CHCl}
  2. B(CH3)3CCl\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{CCl}
  3. C(CH3)2CHCl\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CHCl}
  4. DCH3Cl\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{Cl}

Correct answer

D. CH3Cl\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{Cl}

Step-by-step solution

For SN2\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2 reaction, the C\mathrm{C} atom is least hindered towards the attack of nucleophile in the case of \left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{Cl}\right)$. Hence, (D) is the correct answer.
