Mechanism• Chemists propose two limiting
mechanisms for nucleophilic displacement– a fundamental difference between them
is the timing of bond breaking and bond forming steps
At one extreme, the two processes take place simultaneously; designated SSNN22
S = substitutionN = nucleophilic2 = bimolecular (two species are involved in the rate-determining step)rate = k[haloalkane][nucleophile]
18
• In the other limiting mechanism, bond breaking between carbon and the leaving group is entirely completed before bond forming with the nucleophile begins.
• This mechanism is designated SSNN11 where– S = substitution– N = nucleophilic– 1 = unimolecular (only one
species is involved in the rate-determining step)
– rate = k[haloalkane]

Effect of variables on SN Reactions– the nature of substituents bonded to the atom
attacked by nucleophile– the nature of the nucleophile– the nature of the leaving group – the solvent effect

Effect of substituents on SN1
28
• SN1 reactions – governed by electronic factorselectronic factors, namely the relative
stabilities of carbocation intermediates– relative rates: 3° > 2° > 1° > methyl
• SN2 reactions– governed by steric factorssteric factors, namely the relative ease of
approach of the nucleophile to the site of reaction– relative rates: methyl > 1° > 2° > 3°

Nucleophilicity• NucleophilicityNucleophilicity: a kinetic property measured by the rate
at which a Nu attacks a reference compound under a standard set of experimental conditions– for example, the rate at which a set of nucleophiles
displaces bromide ion from bromoethane

37
The Leaving Group
– the best leaving groups in this series are the halogens I-, Br-, and Cl-
– OH-, RO-, and NH2- are such poor leaving groups that
they are rarely if ever displaced in nucleophilic substitution reactions
I- > Br- > Cl- >> F- > CH3CO- > HO- > CH3O- > NH2-
Greater ability as leaving group
Greater stability of anion; greater strength of conjugate acid
Rarely act as leaving groups in nucleophilic substitution and -elimination reactions

Solvent Effect
• Protic solventProtic solvent: a solvent that contains an -OH group – these solvents favor SN1 reactions; the greater the polarity of
the solvent, the easier it is to form carbocations in it

SN2 is favored in aproticsolvents with goodnucleophiles.SN2 does not occur becauseof steric hindrance aroundthe substitution center.
SN1 is favored because of the ease of formation of tertiary carbocations.
Inversion of configuration.The nucleophile attacksthe stereocenter from theside opposite the leavinggroup.
Racemization. The carbocationintermediate is planar, and attack bythe nucleophile occurs with equalprobability from either side.
SN2 is favored.

Competing Reaction: Elimination--EliminationElimination: removal of atoms or groups of atoms from
adjacent carbons to form a carbon-carbon double bond– we study a type of -elimination called
dehydrohalogenationdehydrohalogenation (the elimination of HX)

-Elimination
• There are two limiting mechanisms for β-elimination reactions
• E1 mechanism:E1 mechanism: at one extreme, breaking of the C-X bond is complete before reaction with base breaks the C-H bond– only R-X is involved in the rate-determining step
• E2 mechanism:E2 mechanism: at the other extreme, breaking of the C-X and C-H bonds is concerted– both R-X and base are involved in the rate-determining
step
43
E2 Mechanism
• A one-step mechanism; all bond-breaking and bond-forming steps are concerted
44
E1 Mechanism
– Step 1: ionization of C-X gives a carbocation intermediate
– Step 2: proton transfer from the carbocation intermediate to a base (in this case, the solvent) gives the alkene

Substitution vs Elimination
• Many nucleophiles are also strong bases (OH- and RO-) and SN and E reactions often compete– the ratio of SN/E products depends on the relative rates

What favors Elimination reactions:- attacking nucleophil is a strong and large base- steric crowding in the substrate- High temperatures and low polarity of solvent

Penataan ulang via Carbocation (Rearrangements)
Also 1,3- and other shifts are possible
The driving force of rearrangements is -> to form a more stable carbocation !!!Happens often with secondary carbocations -> more stable tertiary carbocation
54
Via Carbocation SN + E reactions
Rearrangement
55
Via SN + E reactions -> Wagner – Meerwein rearrangements
Rearrangement of a secondary carbocations -> more stable tertiary carbocation
Plays an important role in biosynthesis of molecules, i.e. Cholesterol -> (Biochemistry)
