You could write whole chapters in an organic text to answer this question. And of course what follows is merely a guide to further reading. We know that $S_(N)1$ reactions...$"substitution...
1 Answers 1 viewsIn a $S_n1$ reaction the reaction rate does only depend on the concentration of the substrate. Mening that you can add all the nucleophile you wan't but the reaction wont...
1 Answers 1 viewsSN2 (substitution, nucleophilic, bimolecular) takes place in a single step without intermediates when a nucleophile reacts with the substrate(e.g. alkyl halide) from a direction opposite opposite to the leaving group....
1 Answers 1 views.......whereas $S_N1$ processes are essentially bond-breaking reactions., and of course, are only dependent on the concentration of the electrophile. A bond making process at a tertiary carbon centre, for...
1 Answers 1 views1-more stearic hindrance, more chance to give SN1 Rn. vice versa 2-more hyperconjugation capability of a substrate, more stable will be the carbocation ultimately more chance to give SN1 Rn....
1 Answers 1 viewsNot only the solvent The type of nucleophilic substitution is decided by nucleophilicity and basicity of the nucleophyle, steric hindrance around the putative carbon, and type of solvent, protic solvents...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe clearest difference is in their names! SN1 reactions are unimolecular, stepwise mechanisms, where, $"R" = k["LG"^(-)]$ SN2 reactions are bimolecular, concerted mechanisms, where, $"R" = k["LG"^-]["Nu"]$ These reactions are...
1 Answers 1 viewsNow of course $S_N1$ and $S_N2$ reactions are DISSOCIATIVE (i.e. bond-breaking), and ASSOCIATIVE (bond-making) respectively to a first approximation. Associative mechanisms are largely restricted to methyl, primary, and more rarely,...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe point is that YOU DON'T KNOW. And for this we apply $"a posteriori"$ reasoning, argument AFTER the fact, rather than $"a priori"$ reasoning, argument BEFORE the fact. Mix...
