Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which a group is substituted by an incoming nucleophile. These rate of reaction depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the incoming nucleophile.

- A mixture of three compounds Phen-A, Acet-B and Rin-C was analyzed using TLC with 1:9 ethanol: hexane as the mobile phase. The TLC plate showed three spots of R, 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.3. Which of the three compounds (Phen-A; Acet-B or Rin-C) would have the highest (Blank 1), middle (Blank 2) and lowest (Blank 3) spot respectively? 0 CH: 0 CH, 0 H.C OH H.CN OH Acet-B Rin-C phen-A A A <arrow_forwardHow many chiral carbons are in the molecule?
