Question

Draw Fischer projections for the following substitution reactions and choose the correct option:

• A. The reaction proceeds via $S_{N}2$ largely
• B. The reaction is $S_{N}1$ largely
• C. The product is a racemic mixture
• D. The major product is optically active.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The major product is optically active.

The problem is definitely of $S_{N}2$ and there will be an inversion of configuration at the stereocenter. So the solution is:
