Vedclass · Answer

(C) In option $(c)$,the compound is $C_6H_5-CH(D)-Br$. It contains a chiral carbon atom because it is attached to four different groups: $-C_6H_5$,$-H$,$-D$,and $-Br$. Upon reaction with $HOH$ (water),it undergoes $S_N1$ substitution via a planar carbocation intermediate $C_6H_5-C^{+}H(D)$. The nucleophile $H_2O$ can attack from either side of the planar carbocation,resulting in a racemic mixture (enantiomeric pair) of $C_6H_5-CH(D)-OH$.

Which one of the following compounds will give an enantiomeric pair on treatment with $HOH$?
