Question

Sodium cyanide reacts with 2-bromobutane in dimethylsulfoxide to form a substitution product. Draw the substitution product formed when this enantiomer reacts with NaCN in DMSO. Clearly indicate stereochemistry by drawing a wedged bond, a dashed bond, and two in-plane bonds per each chiral carbon. Then identify the configuration of the starting material and the product.
