Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product for the reaction shown is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

In general, SN2 reactions of alkyl halides show the following dependence of rate on structure: primary > secondary > tertiary.

Primary alkyl halides are less crowded at the site of substitution than secondary and tertiary alkyl halides, and thus, react faster in substitution by SN2 mechanism.

For SN2 reactions, the rate of substitution depends on the nature of nucleophile and its concentration. SN2 reactions are undergone at a faster rate in presence of strong nucleophiles.

Polar aprotic solvents give fastest rate of substitution by SN2 mechanism.

Nucleophile attacks carbon atoms from a side opposite bond to a leaving group, and hence, inversion of configuration takes place in SN2 mechanism pathway.

Exchange of two groups in a Fischer projection reverses the configuration of the chirality center.
