He demonstrated that aqueous solutions of both types of crystals showed optical rotation, equal in magnitude (for solution of equal concentration) but opposite in direction He believed that this difference in optical activity was associated with the three dimensional arrangements of atoms in the molecules (configurations) of (i) CH3CH2CH2CH2Br < (CH3)2CHCH2Br < CH3CH2CH(Br)CH3 < (CH3)3CBr (SN1) CH3CH2CH2CH2Br > (CH3)2CHCH2Br > CH3CH2CH(Br)CH3> (CH3)3CBr (SN2) Of the two primary bromides, the carbocation intermediate derived from (CH3)2CHCH2Br is more stable than derived from CH3CH2CH2CH2Br because of greater electron donating inductive effect of (CH3)2CH- group Therefore, (CH3)2CHCH2Br is more reactive than CH3CH2CH2CH2Br in SN1 reactions CH3CH2CH(Br)CH3 is a secondary bromide and (CH3)3CBr is a tertiary bromide
