Q

what are the factors affecting Sn2 reaction(nucleophile)?

A

Strength of nucleophiles
strong nucleophile=react faster in a Sn2 reaction

protic solvent=reduce nucleophilicity
aprotic solvents=enhance nucleophilicity
polar aprotic solvents= enhance solubility

A

Hückel’s Rule: If the number of pi-electrons in the cyclic system is:

Q

what are the factors affecting the basicity of amines?

A
  1. Hybridisation of the Nitrogen: In heterocycles, N is sp2
    hybridised. Increasing s-character brings electrons
    closer to the nucleus, reducing the tendency to bond to
    a proton, compared to sp3 hybridised nitrogens.
  2. Resonance stabilisation: Lone pair shared with the ring
    in aryl amines (reduced basicity)
  3. Inductive Stabilisation: Alkyl groups donate electron to
    the more electronegative N increasing the electron
    density of N and making it more basic
