GoalsAfter this chapter, you should be able to:
Predict products of E2 and E1 reactionsDetermine stereochemistry of E2/E1 ProductsDetermine whether SN2, SN1, E1 or E2 will occur

What is an SN2 Reaction?SN2 mechanism; S for substitution, N for nucleophilic and 2 because two molecules collide at the critical point in the reaction.

Review: An SN2 Reaction
![Page 5: Chapter 9: Elimination Reactions of Alkyl Halides: Competition between Substitutions and Eliminations.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050909/5697bf861a28abf838c881d4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Stereochemistry of Inversion
If the nucleophile and the leaving group are both high in the R/S priority order, this means that an R alkyl halide gives an S product, and vice-versa

Effect of Bond Strength of the Leaving Group on SN2
ReactivitySince the carbon-halogen bond strength increases up the periodic table the relative SN2 reactivity of the alkyl halide is:
RF < RCl < RBr < RITosO- is a better leaving group than
I-
OH-, NH2-, and RO- are worse than F-

Anions are more nucleophilic than neutral compoundsThe solvent matters!

Solvent EffectsConsider KBr as a nucleophile sourceProtic solvents with –OH, -NH slow SN2 rxn
These solvents cluster around the nucleophile lowering the effective nucleophilicity
Polar aprotic solvents speed SN2
These solvents cluster around the metal ion of the salt freeing the nucleophile to be nucleophilic.

Characteristics of SN2 Reactions
Single Step MechanismInversion of configuration SN2 reactions are generally reliable only when the alkyl halide is primaryHalogen is generally Cl or Br since
C-F bond is too strongC-I bond is weak and compounds are unstable

Evidence for SN1 KineticsThe reaction rate is only dependent upon the concentration of the substance with the leaving group
R-X R+ + X- is a slow = rate determining
Racemic mixtures are usualCarbocation formation
Rate = k[R-X] where X is leaving group

Neutral Nucleophiles(H2O, ROH, RSH, R3N)
Alkyl Group
Primary
RCH2-
Rapid SN2 substitution. The rate may be reduced by substitution of -carbons, as in the case of neopentyl.
Rapid SN2 substitution. E2 elimination may also occur.e.g. ClCH2CH2Cl + KOH ___> CH2=CHCl
SN2 substitution. (N S >>O)
Secondary
R2CH-
SN2 substitution plus E2 elimination (depends on basicity of the nucleophile). The rate of substitution may be reduced by branching at the -carbons, and this will increase elimination.
E2 elimination will dominate. SN2 substitution. (N S >>O)In high dielectric ionizing solvents, such as water, dimethyl sulfoxide & acetonitrile, SN1 and E1 products may be formed slowly.
Tertiary
R3C-
E2 elimination will dominate with most nucleophiles (even if they are weak bases). No SN2 substitution due to steric hindrance. In high dielectric ionizing solvents, such as water, dimethyl sulfoxide & acetonitrile, SN1 and E1 products may be expected.
E2 elimination will dominate. No SN2 substitution will occur. In high dielectric ionizing solvents SN1 and E1 products may be formed.
E2 elimination with nitrogen nucleophiles (they are bases). No SN2 substitution. In high dielectric ionizing solvents SN1 and E1 products may be formed.
Allyl
H2C=CHCH2-
Rapid SN2 substitution for 1° and 2°-halides. For 3°-halides a very slow SN2 substitution or, if the nucleophile is moderately basic, E2 elimination. In high dielectric ionizing solvents, such as water, dimethyl sulfoxide & acetonitrile, SN1 and E1 products may be observed.
Rapid SN2 substitution for 1° halides (note there are no hydrogens. E2 elimination will compete with substitution in 2°-halides, and dominate in the case of 3°-halides. In high dielectric ionizing solvents SN1 and E1 products may be formed.
Nitrogen and sulfur nucleophiles will give SN2 substitution in the case of1° and 2°-halides. 3°-halides will probably give E2 elimination with nitrogen nucleophiles (they are bases). In high dielectric ionizing solvents SN1 and E1 products may be formed. Water hydrolysis will be favorable for 2° & 3°-halides.
