Explanation:
Inversion of configuration
Inversion of configuration is a process in which the configuration of a stereocentre changes.
Usually, an
An example is the
Racemization
Racemization is a process in which a chiral substrate is converted into a mixture in which there is 50 % retention and 50 % inversion of configuration.
An example is the
The reaction proceeds through a planar, achiral carbocation intermediate in which nucleophilic attack is equally probable from either side.
