Write `SN^(2)` mechanism of the conversion of methyl chloride to methyl alcohol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


`SN^(2)` mechanism
The nucleophile `OH^(-)` attacks electrons deficient carbon atom from the rear side [back side] of the carbon atom to form a transition state it is unstable. In the transition state a partial `(HO-C)` bond is formed and partial `C-Cl` bond is broken. The product methyl alchohol obtained has inversion configuration.
