This document discusses organic chemistry reactions involving alkyl halides. It describes how alkyl halides react with nucleophiles and bases through nucleophilic substitution reactions. Specifically, it covers the SN1 and SN2 reaction mechanisms. The SN2 reaction involves a single step with simultaneous attack of the nucleophile and departure of the leaving group through a planar transition state. In contrast, the SN1 reaction proceeds through separate ionization and addition steps, with carbocation formation as the rate determining step. The document provides details on the kinetics, stereochemistry, substrates and reaction conditions for each type of nucleophilic substitution.

Alkyl Halides React with Nucleophiles and Bases Alkyl halides are polarized at the carbon-halide bond, making the carbon electrophilic Nucleophiles will replace the halide in C-X bonds of many alkyl halides (reaction as Lewis base) Nucleophiles that are Brønsted bases produce elimination

The Discovery of Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions In 1896, Walden showed that (-)-malic acid could be converted to (+)-malic acid by a series of chemical steps with achiral reagents This established that optical rotation was directly related to chirality and that it changes with chemical alteration Reaction of (-)-malic acid with PCl5 gives (+)-chlorosuccinic acid Further reaction with wet silver oxide gives (+)-malic acid The reaction series starting with (+) malic acid gives (-) acid

SN2 Process The reaction involves a transition state in which both reactants are together
Dr Md. Rezaur Rahman
SN2 Transition State The transition state of an SN2 reaction has a roughly planar arrangement of the carbon atom and the remaining three groups

Reactant and Transition State Energy Levels Affect Rate
Higher reactant Higher transition
energy level (red state energy level curve) = faster (red curve) = reaction (smaller slower reaction G‡). (larger G‡). Dr Md. Rezaur Rahman Order of Reactivity in SN2 The more alkyl groups connected to the reacting carbon, the slower the reaction
Dr Md. Rezaur Rahman
The Nucleophile Neutral or negatively charged Lewis base Reaction increases coordination at nucleophile Neutral nucleophile acquires positive charge Anionic nucleophile becomes neutral
Dr Md. Rezaur Rahman
The SN1 Reaction Tertiary alkyl halides react rapidly in protic solvents by a mechanism that involves departure of the leaving group prior to addition of the nucleophile Called an SN1 reaction – occurs in two distinct steps while SN2 occurs with both events in same step If nucleophile is present in reasonable concentration (or it is the solvent), then ionization is the slowest step

SN1 Energy Diagram
Rate-determining step is formation of carbocation
Dr Md. Rezaur Rahman
Stereochemistry of SN1 Reaction The planar intermediate leads to loss of chirality A free carbocation is achiral Product is racemic or has some inversion
Dr Md. Rezaur Rahman
Characteristics of the SN1 Reaction Substrate Tertiary alkyl halide is most reactive by this mechanism Controlled by stability of carbocation Remember Hammond postulate,”Any factor that stabilizes a high- energy intermediate stabilizes transition state leading to that intermediate”
Dr Md. Rezaur Rahman
Effect of Leaving Group on SN1 leaving group Reactivity: the larger halides ions are better leaving groups In acid, OH of an alcohol is protonated and leaving group is H2O, which is still less reactive than halide p-Toluenesulfonate (TosO-) is excellent leaving group
Dr Md. Rezaur Rahman
Nucleophiles in SN1 Since nucleophilic addition occurs after formation of carbocation, reaction rate is not normally affected by nature or concentration of nucleophile
