Answer» Solution :Since the CARBOCATION is PLANAR or `sp^(2)` hybrid carbocation or NUCLEOPHILE can attack the carbocation from both the sides. The carbocation has `sp^(2)`-hybrid CARBON atoms with planar structure. Thus, nucleophile can attack from both the sides equally to for d and l-isomers in equal proportional. |
