The reaction of pure (s)-2-chlorobutane with sodium cyanide

Reference no: EM13330649

The reaction of pure (S)-2-chlorobutane with sodium cyanide in dimethylsulfoxide produces pure (R)-2-cyanobutane. Explain why a racemic mixture is not expected for this reaction if it occurs via an Sn2 mechanism.
