JEE Main Chemistry question
The organic chloro compound which shows complete stereochemical inversion during an reaction is
Answer: (D)
Solution
Complete (exclusive) inversion via the pathway (backside nucleophilic attack with Walden inversion) is best shown by a substrate that reacts purely by with no competing pathway. Tertiary reacts essentially entirely by (via a stable carbocation, giving racemisation rather than
