The organic chloro compound, which shows complete stereochemical inversion during a `SN^2` reaction, is

A

`(C_2H_3)_2CHCl`

B

`(CH_3)_3"CCl`

C

`(CH_3)_2 CHCl`

D

`CH_3Cl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In `SN^2` reaction nucleophile attack is from the backside hence stereochemical inversion is observed which is called Walden inversion. Steric hindrance is the major factor considered for a substrate undergoing `SN^2` reaction. In `CH_3Cl` , the hindrance being minimum favours `SN^2` to a maximum extent.
