Identify the wrong statement from the following
- A The product formed when (–)–2–Methylbutan–1–ol is heated with Conc. HCl is (+)–1–Chloro–2–methylbutane with Retention of configuration
- B Vinyl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction easily
- C \(S_N1\) reaction of Alkyl halides is favoured by the presence of bulky substituents, protic solvents and the reaction products are a racemic mixture
- D \(S_N2\) reaction of optically active halides are accompanied by Retention of configuration
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(S_N2\) reaction of optically active halides are accompanied by Retention of configuration
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Option (A): The reaction of (–)–2–methylbutan–1–ol with conc. HCl involves the cleavage of the C–O bond at C1. The bonds attached to the chiral center at C2 are not broken, so the spatial arrangement (configuration) is retained. This statement is correct. Option (B): Vinyl…
