This sample was reacted with excess ammonia in diethyl


A sample of pure (1 chloroethyl) benzene had a specific rotation of 87.2 degrees, while pure R 1 chloro-1-phenyl ethane has a specific rotation of -109 degrees. This sample was reacted with excess ammonia in diethyl ether at 0 c. The product mixture had a specific rotation of -29.9 degrees. If the specific rotation of pure (R) 1-phenyl ethanamine is +39.3 degrees. This reaction resulted in [X] percent inversion and [Y] percent inverison, which idicates that the major mechanism was [Z].

What is [X]?
What is [Y]?
What is [Z]?
