5 Aug 2017 In this article, we will cover the concepts of stereochemistry descriptions using . One of the first reactions that will be covered is the SN2 reaction, mainly because it is relatively straight forward and a good tutorial for how toFig.1: Influence of the leaving group on the stereochemistry of the product. A back-side attack of the nucleophile on the substrate can then take place before

2 Mar 2017 Tip: Recall that the rate of a reaction depends on the slowest step. In bimolecular reactions, therefore, the slow step involves two reactants. For SN2 reactions 24 Apr 2015 SN2 Reaction Chirality and Mechanism of Bimolecular Substitution organic chemistry tutorial video. Step by step tutorial video on how chiral 19 Dec 2016 The main lesson is that one should not limit the search to the structure with all Attack at the top gives the S enantiomer, attack at the bottom gives the R 13 Jan 2015 Backside Attack: In a backside attack, the nucleophile attacks the electrophilic center on the side that is opposite to the leaving group. When a backside attack occurs, the stereochemistry of the product does not stay the same. There is inversion of configuration. Backside attack: In an ionic substitution reaction, approach of the nucleophile at a 180o dihedral angle to the existing (in SN2) or former (in SN1) carbon-leaving
