Nucleophilic Substitution Flashcards
1
Q
Two types of Substitution:
A
SN1 and SN2
2
Q
SN1
A
3>2>1
C+ formed in RDS
Acidic, protic solvent
1st order rate= k[SM]
3
Q
SN2
A
1>2>3
No C+
Neutral, basic, aprotic solvent
Second order rate=k[SM][Nu]
4
Q
SN1 and Nucleophile participation to form product
A
Halide ion–> alkyl halide
Primary amine–> secondary amine
Thiol–> disulfide
Alcohol–>ether
5
Q
SN2 reagents
A
SOCl2
PBr3
Both cause INVERSION of stereochem
Convert OH to OTs for SN2(TsCl, pyr and CH3NH2 or CH3CH2NH2)
