Answer the following questions:
An optically active compound having molecular formula C7H15Br reacts with aqueous KOH to give a racemic mixture of products. Write the mechanism involved in this reaction.
✓

Answer

Since the optically active compound, C7H15Br reacts with KOH forms a racemic mixture, therefore it must be tertiary alkyl halide and the reaction will follow SN1 mechanism.
