Can someone please tell me the answer to this?

Predict the product for the reaction of R-2-chlorobutane with NaI in acetone, indicating CORRECT stereochemistry.

I entered "S-2-idobutane" but it marked it as wrong.
What's the answer?

Well if it an S_N2 reaction and it is then they proceed normally with inversion of stereochemistry. So your answer is correct unless I am missing something.

Is it possible that you did not choose "iodobutane," as opposed to "idobutane?" In other words, did you spell it correctly?  If this is a multiple choice format, then it would obviously be impossible to spell incorrectly

Oh oops I mispelt it here...
But yes I did put " (S)-2-iodobutane " and it said I was wrong (?)
And this is a fill in the blank problem on Webassign.
Either webassign is wrong or this is impossible.

Maybe I just have to enter "(S)-2-iodobutane" (like S-2-iodobutane) without the parenthesis since the molecule in the question doesn't have the parenthesis (?)

Oh wait I got it right!
Thanks everyone!
The answer was supposed to written: S-2-iodobutane
