An `SN^(2)` reaction at an asymmetric `C` of a compound always gives:

A

A enantiomer of the substrate

B

A product with opposite optical rotation

C

A mixtrue of diastereomers

D

A single stereoisomers

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`SN^(2)` reaction proceeds with the inversion of configuration, hence, only one stereoisomer is obtained.
