Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given reaction is an example of a substitution reaction where the bromine atom is replaced by the chlorine atom. Since the bromine and chlorine atoms have different priorities according to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules, the product obtained will be chiral. The stereochemistry of the product is determined by the configuration of the starting material. In this case, the starting material is (R)-2-Bromobutane, so the product obtained will be (R)-2-Chlorobutane. Hence, the correct answer is B.
