The organic chloro compound, which shows complete stereochemical inversion during a `S_(N)^(2)` reaction, is:

A

`(CH_3)_3C Cl`

B

`(CH_3)_2CHCl`

C

`CH_3Cl`

D

`(C_2H_5)_2CHCl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The reactivity order of alkyl halides for `S_(N^2)` reaction is methyl `gt 1^@ gt 2^@ gt 3^@` halides. So complete stereochemical inversion will take place in case of `CH_3Cl`.
