We’ll see in the next chapter that alkyl halides react with nucleophiles to give substitution products by a mechanism that involves inversion of stereochemistry at carbon: Draw the reaction of (S)-2-bromobutane with HS^– ion to yield 2-butanethiol, CH₃CH₂CH (SH) CH₃. What is the stereochemistry of the product?
