  1. Substitution and Elimination Reactions of Alkyl Halides

  2. Substitution, Nucleophilic, Bimolecular – SN2

  3. Reaction Profile for SN2 Reaction (Wade)

  4. Stereochemistry of SN2 ReactionInversion of Configuration

  5. Proof of Inversion of Configuration at a Chiral Center

  6. Acetate Approaches from 180o Behind Leaving Group

  7. Inversion on a Ring is often more Obvious: Cis Trans

  8. Substrate Reactivity Since the energy of the transition state is significant in determining the rate of the reaction, a primary substrate will react more rapidly than secondary (which is much more rapid than tertiary).

  9. 1o > 2o >> 3oBulkiness of Substrate

  10. Polar, Aprotic Solvents

  11. Nucleophilicity

  12. Iodide vs. Fluoride as Nucleophiles

  13. Nucleophiles(preferably non-basic)

  14. Good Leaving Groups are Weak Bases

  15. Common Leaving Groups

  16. SN2 and E2

  17. Bimolecular Elimination - E2Nucleophile acts as Bronsted Base

  18. SN2 Competes with E2

  19. SN2 Competes with E2

  24. H and Br Anti-coplanar orientation

  25. In a Cyclohexane, Leaving Group must be Axial

  26. Zaitsev’s Rule

  27. More Stable Alkene Predominates

  28. Hyperconjugationp bond associates with adjacent C-H s bond

  29. With Bulky Base, Hofmann Product Forms

  33. Stereochemistry is Important

  34. E2 Reaction of a Vicinal Dibromide using Zn dust or Iodide

  35. Unimolecular Substitution and Elimination – SN1 and E1

  36. SN1 mechanism(Wade)1st step is rate determining

  37. Reaction Profiles (Wade)SN1 SN2

  38. Hammond’s Postulate • Related species that are close in energy are close in structure. • In an endothermic reaction, the transition state is similar to the product in structure and stability. • In an exothermic reaction, the transition state is similar to the reactant in structure and stability. • i.e. the structure of the transition state resembles the structure of the most stable species.

  39. Endo- transition state looks like productExo- transition state looks like reactant
