Consider the substitution reaction that takes place when (R) 3-iodo-3-methylheptane is treated with sodium acetate (CH3CO 2Na). Which of the following would be true? O A. An Sn1 reaction would take place with racemization of configuration at the storeogenic center O B. An SN2 reaction would take place with inversion of configuration at the stereogenic center C. An E2 reaction would take place, during which the stereogenic center is lost O D. An SNI reaction would take place with retention of configuration at the stereogenic center O E. An SN1 reaction would take place, accompanied by an E1 reaction, affording a compleix mixture of products
