Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2'}$ reaction is either syn or anti is to be stated and an explanation as to how the obtained result contrast with the stereochemistry of the ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which one nucleophile is substituted by another nucleophile. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the nucleophile. The ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction is a nucleophilic substitution bimolecular single-step reaction in which the addition of nucleophile and removal of the leaving group takes place simultaneously.

Stereochemistry is the study of the different types of $3-$ dimensional arrangement of atoms and molecules in a compound and its effect on the chemical reactions.
