Q. The organic chloro compound, which shows complete sterochemical inversion during a $S_{N^2}$ reaction, is

AIEEEAIEEE 2008Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

$S_{N^2}$ reaction is favoured by small groups on the carbon atom attached to halogen. So, the order of reactivity is $CH_3Cl > (CH_3 ) 2CHCl > (CH_3 ) 3CCl > (C_2H_2)_2 CHCl$
