Solenopsin is an alkaloid found in the venom of fire ants. It is considered to be responsible for the cardiorespiratory failure in people who experience excessive fire ant stings. Draw an alkyl halide and choose the conditions that would promote an SN2 reaction to yield this intermediate in the synthesis of solenopsin.
