The organic chloro compound, which shows complete stereochemical inversion during a `S_(N)^(2)` reaction, is:

A

`(C_(2)H_(5))_(2)CHCl`

B

`(CH_(3))_(3)"CCl"`

C

`(CH_(3))_(2)CHCl`

D

`CH_(3)Cl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Nucleophilic substitution bimolecular `(S_(N)2)` reaction prefers less sterically site to attack. Lesser the steric hindrance better the `S_(N)2` reaction. So, ease of reaction is `1^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 3^(@). S_(N)2` involves inversion of configuration stereochemically (Walden inversion).

Hence, methyl chloride shows inversion.
