In this problem, you're asked to react this substrate with this nucleophile and to draw the products including stereochemistry for these reactions.
00:08
So the first thing you need to do is determine whether this will react by an sn1 or an sm2 mechanism.
00:16
So this substrate is on a secondary carbon, meaning that it can react either sn1 or sn2.
00:29
This nucleophile is weak, meaning that it favors sn1.
00:35
Reactions.
00:38
So the first step in an sn1 reaction is heterolysis.
00:44
So you show that by show the formation of the carbocatine here.
00:52
But then it reacts with a nucleophile.
01:00
And it attacks from either above or below producing a racemic mixture of products.
01:09
So it produces this and it's an antiemer shortened.
01:25
So it produces both of these...
