An optically active compound A (assume dextrorotatory) has the molecular formula C_(7)H_(11)Br . A reacts with hydrogen bromide, in the absence of peroxides to yield isomeric products, B and C, with the molecular formula C_(7)H_(12)Br_(2) . Compound B is optically active, C is not. Treating B with 1 mol of potassium butoxide yields (+)-A . Treating C with 1 mol of potassium tert-butoxide yields (+-)-A . Treating A with potassium tert-butoxide yields D(C_(7)H_(10)) . Subjecting 1 mol of D to ozonolysis followed by treatment with zinc and acetic acid yields 2 moles of formaldehyde and 1 mole of 1,3-cyclopentanedione. The optically active compound 'A' is

In S_(N^(1)) reaction an optically active substrates mainly gives

Nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reaction is mainly of two types: S_(N)1 and S_(N)2 . The S_(N)1 mechanism is a two step process. Reaction velocity of S_(N)1 reaction depends only on the concentration of the substrate. Since product formation takes place by the formation of carbocation, optically active substrate gives (+) and (-) forms of the product. In most of the cases the product usually consists of 5-20% inverted product and 80-95% racemised species. The more stable the carbocation, the greater is the proportion of racemisation. In solvolysis reaction, the more nucleophilic the solvent, the greater is the proportion of inversion. Which one of the following compound will give S_(N)1 reaction predominantly?
