Question

Question 1 1 pts Which of the following answer choices both correctly classifies the mechanism of the reaction pictured below, and provides a correct justification for the classification? CI CI H2o (mixture of enantiomers) c. SN2, because the substrate is secondary and chloride is a very good leaving group. a. SN1, because the substrate can form a resonance-stabilized carbocation, water is a poor nucleophile, and protic conditions favor the SN1 mechanism d. SN2, because it is the only mechanism by which inversion of stereochemistry could be possible. b. SN1, because the substrate is secondary and water is an excellent nucleophile under protic conditions.

Explanation / Answer

Here inversion of configuration is taking place

So, the reaction must be SN2

Answer: d
