Explain S_(N^(2)) mechanism with suitable examples. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) `S_(N^(2))` reaction means BIMOLECULAR nucleophilic substitution reaction of second order. (ii) The RATE of `S_(N^(2))` reaction depends upon the concentration of both alkyl halides and the nucleophile. (iii) The carbon at which substitution occurs has inverted configuration during the course of reaction just as an umbrella has the tendency to invert in a wind-storm. this inversion of configuration is called WALDEN inversion.  .
