Which electrophile will react the fastest by the SN2 mechanism with cyanide (NC) in DMF?
  1.phenyl iodide (PhI)
  2.vinyl tosylate (H2C=CHOTos)
  3.ethyl bromide
  4.cyclohexyl bromide

  2.In the transition state the carbon is sp2 hybridized.
  3.Absolute configuration is inverted from R to S.
  4.The reaction is faster in HMPA than in water.
  5.The reaction can be catalyzed by I.
