Q. The SN2 reaction involves back-side attack and therefore results in a "Walden Inversion." For which one of the substrates shown would you be able to demonstrate that such back-side attack with "Walden Inversion" has infact occurred?

Solution:

To observe inversion, the substitution must occur at a chiral center.
