A

it can proceed via `S_(N)` 2 mechanism

B

configuration about chiral carbon is retained

C

D

reaction is stereospecific

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The reaction can proceed through `S_(N)2` mechanism and it is stereospecific A reaction is stereospecific when a particular stereoissomeric form of the starting material reacts in such a way that it gives a stereoisomeric form of the product.
