2-Bromobutane reacts with OH^(-) in H(2)...

2-Bromobutane reacts with `OH^(-)` in `H_(2)O` to give 2-butanol. The reaction involves

A

retention in configuration

B

inversion in configuration

C

racemization

D

mutarotation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
2-Bromobutane, `CH_(3)-underset(Br)underset(|)(CH)CH_(2)CH_(3)` is `2^(@)` alkyl halide. It reacts with `OH^(-)` in protic solvent `(H_(2)O)` through `S_(N)1` mechanism. Therefore, it involves racemisation.
