Q13 / 90 · JEE Main 2014 (09 Apr Online) · Chemistry
In a nucleophilic substitution reaction : , which one of the following undergoes complete inversion of configuration ?
- AC6H5CHC6H5Br
- BC6H5CCH3C6H5Br
- CC6H5CH2Br
- Correct answerDC6H5CH2CH2Br
Solution
In (nucleophilic bimolecular substitution) inversion takes place
Rate of R–X is 1° > 2° > 3°
Rate of R–X is 1° > 2° > 3°
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
