nucleophilic substitution (SN2) is a type of reaction mechanism that is common in organic chemistry. In the SN2 reaction, a strong nucleophile forms...

simultaneously (i.e. a concerted reaction). SN2 occurs when the central carbon atom is easily accessible to the nucleophile. In SN2 reactions, there are a few conditions...

SN2, only alkene formation by E2 elimination is observed. Thus, elimination by E2 limits the scope of the Williamson ether synthesis (an SN2 reaction)...

and secondary alkyl halides, the alternative SN2 reaction occurs. In inorganic chemistry, the SN1 reaction is often known as the dissociative substitution...

Pericyclic reactions, the SN2 reaction, and some rearrangements - such as the Claisen rearrangement - are concerted reactions. The rate of the SN2 reaction is...

which is called the Klaui ligand. The Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction is initiated with the SN2 attack of the nucleophilic phosphorus species (1 - A phosphite)...

Finkelstein reaction, named after the German chemist Hans Finkelstein, is an SN2 reaction (Substitution Nucleophilic Bimolecular reaction) that involves...

This reaction differs from a common SN2 reaction, because it happens at a trigonal carbon atom (sp2 hybridization). The mechanism of SN2 reaction does...

nucleophilic substitution (SN2). The two reactions are named according tho their rate law, with SN1 having a first-order rate law, and SN2 having a second-order...

two successive SN2 reactions take place and the stereochemistry is again retention. With standard SN1 reaction conditions the reaction outcome is retention...
