Chapter 11, Problem 11.48P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The lettered compounds, A, B and C that are present in the given reaction scheme are to be identified.

Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The nucleophilic reaction that consists of bimolecular as well as bond-making and bond-breaking steps is termed as ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reactions. This is a one-step reaction in which both nucleophile and substrate participate in the rate determining step.
