An `SN^2` reaction at an asymmetric C of a compound always gives:

A

An enantiomer of the substrate

B

A product with opposite optical rotation

C

A mixture of diastereomers

D

A single stereoisomer

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`SN^2 ` reaction proceeds with the inversion of configuration, hence, only one stereoisomer is obtained.
