1) In general, stronger bases are better nucleophiles
2) However, iodide doesn’t fit that pattern (weak base, but great
nucleophile!)
3) Cyanide is an excellent nucleophile because of its linear
structure
4) Sulfur is better than oxygen as a nucleophile

SSNN2 Reaction: solvents2 Reaction: solventsSN2 reactions are accelerated in polar, aprotic solvents. Consider Na+ -OEt as an example of a nucleophile.
Why are reactions accelerated? The Na+ cation is complexed by the negative part of the aprotic solvent molecule pulling it away from –OEt.Now that the sodium ion is complexed, the oxygen in the nucleophile –OEt is more available for attack.

• Usually SN1 reactions are run in polar protic solvents; compounds with O-H groups.
• The polar protic solvent acts as BOTH nucleophile as well as the solvent.
• Common solvent/nucleophiles include:water, ethanol, methanol, acetic acid, and formic acid.

SSNN2 2 versusversus S SNN1 1 ReactionsReactions
• A primary alkyl halide or a methyl halide should react by an SN2 process. Look for a good nucleophile, such as hydroxide, methoxide, etc. in an polar aprotic solvent.
• A tertiary alkyl halide should react by an SN1 mechanism. Make sure to run the reaction under solvolysis (polar protic solvent) conditions! Don’t use strong base conditions -- it will give you nothing but E2 elimination!
• A secondary alkyl halide can go by either mechanism. Look at the solvent/nucleophile conditions!!

-- Table 10-16-- Table 10-16• Lower temperatures favor substitution; higher
temperatures give more elimination. • Highly branched compounds (secondary and
tertiary compounds) give mostly elimination with strong bases. Weaker bases give more substitution. A basic medium favors E2; a more nucleophilic medium favors SN2.
• Primary compounds give mostly substitution with non-bulky nucleophiles. A bulky base (tert-butoxide) gives elimination.
• Tertiary compounds should be reacted under solvolysis conditions to give substitution!!!

Mustard gasMustard gas• Mustard gas is a substance that causes tissue blistering (a
vesicant). It is highly reactive compound that combines with proteins and DNA and results in cellular changes immediately after exposure. Mustard gas was used as a chemical warfare agent in World War I by both sides.

• SN1 reactions are “expected” to give a 50-50 (racemic) mixture of the two enantiomers!!
• But, if the leaving group doesn’t get out of the way, you will get more inversion than retention, which makes it “look like” SN2.
• In the extreme, you could have a carbocation give only inversion of configuration by an SN1 mechanism!!
