Question

When s-2-bromobutane undergoes an SN2 reaction with CH3O-, the product is the compound shown below. What is/are the configurations of the products obtained?
CH3CH2CH(OCH3)CH3 When s-2-bromobutane undergoes an SN2 reaction with CH3O-, the product is the compound shown below. What is/are the configurations of the products obtained?
CH3CH2CH(OCH3)CH3 When s-2-bromobutane undergoes an SN2 reaction with CH3O-, the product is the compound shown below. What is/are the configurations of the products obtained?
CH3CH2CH(OCH3)CH3
CH3CH2CH(OCH3)CH3

Explanation / Answer

The product obtained is correct and has a chiral centerr wherein this can rotate the plane of a plane polarized light to have the D or L configuration but the value is too low and the groups are very well comparable in size and mol wt hence the configuations are not possible.
