Which of the following is the most correct electron displacement of a nucleophilic reaction to take place
A
- 
B
- 
C
- 
D
- 
Detailed Solution
In $CH_3-CH=CH-CH_2-Cl$, the $CH_3$ group shows +I effect and pushes electrons towards the double bond.
The $\pi$-electrons shift towards the $CH_2Cl$ end, and Cl, showing –I effect, pulls the C–Cl bond electrons towards itself.
The correct representation shows the +I arrow from $CH_3$, the $\pi$-shift towards $CH_2$ and the C–Cl bond pair moving onto Cl, making the carbon open to nucleophilic attack.
