Question

Draw a structural formula for the substitution product of the reaction shown below.

Draw a structural formula for the substitution product of the reaction show below. Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry. If more than one stereoisomer of product is formed, draw both. Separate multiple products using the + sign from the dropdown menu.

Answer 1

The complete chemical reaction is given as shown below OH он њо CH CH3 CH3 racemic mixture The mechanism of the above reaction is given as shown below CI CH3 slow step он CHs+ racemic muxture Since given substrate is secondary alkyl halide and H20 is a weak nucleophile. Thus, this reaction is proceed through S^1 mechanism. In the first step, formation of carbocation intermediate due to removal of leaving group is take place. And in the second step incoming nucleophile attacks at the carbocation intermediate and formed racemic mixture.
