### Proposed Mechanism for Transformation

2) a) Propose a detailed mechanism to explain the following overall transformation.

Please redraw the substrate to begin your answer. Illustrate the transition state involved using a perspective diagram (dash/wedge notation), and include lone pairs, formal charges, and (perfect) curved arrows where appropriate. 

![Chemical Reaction]

**Reaction:**

\[
\begin{aligned}
& \text{Reactants:} \\
& \quad \textit{----->}\quad+ \text{NaSH} \quad\Rightarrow\quad \textit{----->}\quad \text{Products: }\quad \text{--------} + \text{NaCl}
\end{aligned}
\]

**Notes:** 
1. In this question, you **must** use dash/wedge notation in your illustrations, so start by drawing a perspective diagram associated with the α-carbon in the substrate.
2. Counterions just watch, and so you can ignore them in your answer.

### Stereochemistry

2) b) What is the stereochemistry associated with the above process? Why is it not relevant in this situation?

### Image Description

The image above presents a chemical reaction in which the reactant is a compound containing a chlorine (Cl) atom attached to a carbon chain. This reactant undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction with sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) resulting in the production of a compound with a thiol group (SH) attached to the carbon chain and sodium chloride (NaCl) as a byproduct.

*Explanation of Notations:* 
- Use of dash/wedge notation is required to illustrate the perspective of bonds in the molecule.
- Lone pairs and formal charges are to be included where necessary.
- Perfect curved arrows should indicate electron movement to clearly depict the mechanism.
