Question

In sn1 mechanism for optically active tert haloalkanes maximum racemisation with partial inversion

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement-I : nucleophilic substitution reaction on an optically active alkyl halide gives a mixture of enantiomers.

Because Statement-II : The reaction occurs by S

N

1 mechanism.

(A)Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true ; Statement-II is correct explanation for Statement-I.

S

N

1 mechanism involves racemisation as the nucleophile can attack from either side. In S

N

2 reaction, inversion of configuration is involved as the nucleophile can attack from opposite side.
