Question
Chapter 7, Problem 51PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Racemization of (S)-2-iodopentane in a solution of sodium iodide in DMSO must be explained.
Concept introduction:
The racemization is the formation of both the enantiomers simultaneously. If the molar ratio of both enantiomers is the same, then it’s complete racemization. Generally, it takes place in an unimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN1) reaction as inversion and retention take place simultaneously.
