Q

Sn2 reactions occur with

  1. no sterochemical control
  2. partial stereochemical control
  3. complete stereochemical control
A

3 complete stereo chemical control

Sn2 reactions always occurs with complete stereochemistry control, because every time the nucleophile attacks, it always do for the opposite side of the leaving group.

Q

PCC oxidation of a primary alchohol affords the corresponding

  1. carbocylic acid
  2. aldehyde
  3. ester
A
  1. PCC is a great nucleophile to oxydize alcohols. Depending of the type of alcohol, it can be oxydize to ketones or aldehydes. 2nd and 3rd alcohols gets oxydized to ketones, and 1st alcohols are oxydized to aldehydes.
