Chapter 6, Problem 36P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

According to the given reaction, various statements are to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rule system ranks the substituents in the chirality center in the order of decreasing atomic number. Higher atomic number takes precedence over lower atomic number for the substituent.

If two groups directly attached to the chirality center are same then compare the atoms attached to them on the basis of their atomic numbers. At the first point of difference, the priority is determined.

${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction is a type of reaction having single step mechanism. In ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction inversion of configuration takes place.

In ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction nucleophile attacks from opposite side to the leaving group to give product.
