  • This is it! The start of the very scary reaction mechanisms! Take it easy, chief. First we will define nucleophiles, electrophiles, and leaving groups. Then, we will examine the mechanism, transition state, and stereospecificity of the SN2 reaction. Push those electrons!

    it is not always the case that if SN2 occurs on the chiral center it will necessarily invert the steriochemistry there. Because if the incoming nucleophile has a different Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority from the leaving group.

    Really well explained! Very thankful to all the UA-cam educators like yourself :)
    One question I have regarding this: what property of the leaving group or incoming nucleophile enables the reaction to proceed forward? (i.e. allows the carbon to dissociate from the Cl- and form a bond with OH- instead) Is there a way of theoretically determining which form (OH bound vs Cl bound) is likely to be in higher concentration in a solution that has been allowed to reach equilibrium?
