Reaction of methyl bromide with aqueous sodium hydroxide involves
- A racemisation
- B \(S_{N} 1\) mechanism
- C retention of configuration
- D \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) mechanism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) mechanism
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Since, the reaction rate depends upon the concentration of both reactant and nucleophile, it is a \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) reaction. It involves inversion of configuration.
