Give reasin An optically inactive product is obtained after the hydrolysis of optically active 2- bromobutane.
The SN1SN1 reaction is used to hydrolyze 2-bromobutane. The SN1SN1 reaction is triggered by the creation of a carbocation, in which the OH-attack the carbocation from both sides, culminating in the production of 2-butanol, a racemic product. As a result of the production of the racemic product, 2-butanol is optically inactive.
