For the following reaction, the cyanide nucleophile could
reasonably substitute at either of two positions. One mechanism
produces 4-cyanoheptane and dimethylsulfide. The competing
mechanism produces 4-methylthioheptane and acetonitrile (CH3CN). In
practice, only one substitution is observed. Choose the most likely
mechanistic pathway for this reaction and draw both of the
products. Select whether it proceeds via an SN1 or SN2
mechanism.
