Answer:
Chloride ion is a strong nucleophile and bromide is a good leaving group. The major product of treating (S)-2-bromobutane with NaCl in CH3C(O)CH3 (acetone) is _________. (1S,2R)-1-chloro-2-bromobutane cis-2-butene (1R,2S)-1-chloro-2-bromobutane (S)-2-chlorobutane trans-2-butene (R)-2-chlorobutane
Step-by-step explanation:
The reaction of (S)-2-bromobutane with NaCl in CH3C(O)CH3 (acetone) forms the following product:
The answer is (R)-2-chlorobutane.
The reaction take splace through
mechansim and inversion in configuration happens.
