Certain organic reactions proceed through formation of intermediates which are highly strained and reactive. Given the following reaction, the correct statement about the mechanism of the reaction is

Options

  1. AIntramolecular S _ N 2 attack by - COO ⁻ to form an intermediate followed by the attack by HO ⁻ via S _ N 2 pa
  2. BIntramolecular S _ N 2 attack by - COO ⁻ to form an intermediate followed by the attack by HO ⁻ via S _ N 1 pa
  3. CHO ⁻ attacks via S _ N 1 pathway on the reactant
  4. DHO ⁻ attacks via S _ N 2 pathway on the reactant

Correct answer

A. Intramolecular S _ N 2 attack by - COO ⁻ to form an intermediate followed by the attack by HO ⁻ via S _ N 2 pa
