(b) CH3CO2-

Short Answer

Answer

Step by step solution

01

SN2 reaction

It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which an old bond is broken and a new bond is formed both processes occur simultaneously. Hence, it鈥檚 a single-step reaction.

The two reacting species are involved in the rate-determining steps.

02

Definition of Nucleophiles and stereochemistry

Nucleophiles are the negatively charged ions or the neutral species having the lone pair of electrons that are ready for bonding.

Stereochemistry - It is a study of the arrangement of atoms in a space that form a molecule

03

Species react faster with 2-bromoctane

2-bromoctane is a secondary bromoalkane so the reaction proceeds with the inversion of configuration that the chirality of the carbon atom is changed as shown:
