Question:
stereochemical aspects of nucleophilic substitution reactions
Answer:
An SN1 reaction is accompanied by racemisation, while an SN2reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration.
Stereochemical aspects of an optically active alkyl halide:
General nucleophilic substitution reaction: R-X + Z- → R-Z + X-
In this process, if the reaction conditions are favourable for first order kinetics, then it follows the mechanism of an SN1 reaction.
