Answer to Problem 8.13P
The complete, detailed mechanism for the given reaction, assuming that it takes place via an
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is
The reactant molecule contains two chiral centers at C1 and C3 carbon atoms. The leaving group is
Note that the stereochemical configuration at the chiral center at C3 remains unchanged because no bonds to it were broken or formed. However, the stereochemical configuration at the chiral center at C1 changes as bonds to it are affected throughout the course of reaction. This will change the stereochemical configuration at C3 chiral carbon atom. Thus, a single stereoisomer will be generated.

Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is
The reactant molecule contains one chiral center. The leaving group is
Note that, the stereochemical configuration at the chiral center changes as bonds to it ae affected throughout the course of reaction. This will change the stereochemical configuration at the chiral center, and it will be opposite than the reactant molecule. Thus, a single stereoisomer will be generated.
