Question

Draw the SN2 mechanism of the reaction between (S)-2-bromobutane and iodid ion. Show lone pairs, electron pushing arrows, 3-D view to reflect appropriate stereochemistry, reactants, transition states, and products. name the product. draw and completely label a reaction energy diagram corresponding to the mechanism you have drawn.
