(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Substitution product of 2-chloro-methyl-3 4 hexene added to a solution of sodium acetate in acetic acid has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the reversible ionization of alkyl halide in the presence of aqueous acetone or an aqueous ethyl alcohol provides a carbocation as an intermediate, attacked by the nucleophile to form the product.

If the leaving group in SN1 reaction is attached to the asymmetric carbon, a pair of enantiomers will be formed.

An enantiomer, also known as an optical isomer, is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superimposable.
