Question

sn2 reaction at an asymmetric carbon of a compound always givesa) an enantiomerb)a product with opposite optical rotationc)a mixture of diastereomersd)a single steriomer

Answer 1

Since it is an asymmetric compound and a different nucleophile is attacking through SN2 it will not form enantiomer or diastereomer or necessarily not be optically active with opposite rotation so it will be compound with SINGLE STEREOISOMER
