Answer:

The reaction would take place with racemization.

Explanation:

The compound (R)-3-bromo 3-methylhexane contains has the leaving group attached to a tertiary carbon atom. When the leaving group is attached to a tertiary carbon atom, the compound undergoes nucleophilic substitution via SN1 mechanism. This mechanism involves the formation of a planar carbocation intermediate. The nucleophile may attack this intermediate from either faces, leading to racemization of the product.
