Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
The complete question is
What is the major organic product obtained from the reaction of
(R)-2-bromohexane with sodium cyanide/acetone?
A) ) trans-2-pentene
B) ( S)-2-Methylpentanenitrile
C) ( S)-2-Methylhexanenitrile
D) (plus or minus)-2-Methylpentanenitrile
Solution
This is an inversion reaction in which (R) 2 Bromohexane convert into (S) -2 – methyl hexane in the presence of Acetone and NaCN.
The reaction occurs through the SN2 mechanism and there is inversion of confiruration
Hence, option C is correct
