Question

For the SN2SN⁢2 reaction, draw the major organic product and select the correct (R) or (S) designation around the stereocenter carbon in the organic substrate and organic product. Include wedge‑and‑dash bonds and draw hydrogen on a stereocenter.

Assign the stereochemistry.
 
**Title: Understanding SN2 Reaction Mechanisms and Stereochemistry**

**Objective:**
In this exercise, you will explore a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN2) involving the replacement of an iodine atom in the organic substrate with a fluoride ion. You will determine the stereochemical configuration of both the substrate and the product, designating them as (R) or (S).

**Instructions:**
1. **Reaction Overview:**
   - The substrate provided is a chiral molecule with an iodine (I) leaving group. 
   - A fluoride ion (F⁻) acts as the nucleophile that attacks the carbon center, leading to the displacement of iodine.

2. **Stereochemical Details:**
   - The molecule has a chiral center with bonds arranged in three-dimensional space using wedge-and-dash notation. The hydrogen (H), deuterium (D), and iodine (I) create a chiral center. 
   - Draw the major organic product of this SN2 reaction, ensuring to depict the transition of stereochemistry.

3. **Diagram Explanation:**
   - The diagram provided should display the stereochemical inversion at the chiral center, typical of an SN2 mechanism.
   - Make use of the drawing interface to sketch the reaction mechanism and product.

4. **Stereochemistry Assignments:**
   - Analyze the stereochemistry of both the organic substrate and product.
   - Choose the correct answer that identifies whether both the substrate and product are (R) or (S), or a combination thereof.

**Choices for Stereochemistry:**
- The organic substrate and organic product are both (S).
- The organic substrate is (R) and the organic product is (S).
- The organic substrate is (S) and the organic product is (R).
- The organic substrate and organic product are both (R).

**Notes:**
- Remember that the SN2 reaction results in stereoinversion, meaning the configuration of the chiral center is inverted as the nucleophile displaces the leaving group.
- Utilize wedge-and-dash bonds to accurately depict spatial arrangements of atoms or groups on the chiral center. 

By completing this exercise, you will gain a deeper understanding of how nucleophilic substitution reactions influence stereochemistry.
