SN2 reaction

[bluestreek004]

that halogen is a creeper

[JulixHartley]

attack from behind...

[junior1984able]

so the difference between an sn1 and sn2 reaction isthat theres that many reactants involved in the process.

[busybee340]

This isn't correct, the nucleophile attacks at 180degrees to the leaving group- an anti attack, and the carbon being attacked undergoes INVERSION OF CONFIGURATION during the reaction. The inversion isn't shown here.

[inferno46n2]

@busybee340 actually the inversion is show.....

[GMBeasting]

@busybee340 yup, @OT, maybe you would want to show a transition state or some sort of inversion of configuration?

[terre0jk]

thank you very much for this vedio

[coolnorules]

thnx very helpful

[tammyshui]

THIS SUCKS

it didnt even invert

[cloudsymph]

...yeah it did >_>

[GoChargers416]

This isn't even a chiral center to begin with. There's no R, S orientation.

[SOYUZ1968]

Stereocenter, you'd mean....the term chiral center is conceptually wrong...

[otleybey]

Poor carbonyl keeps getting attacked by nasty Mr Grignard.

[Ryuta19]

ahahahahahaa good joke, +1 xDDD

[halistall07]

attack from the back

[lexani88]

very n1

[pimezon]

thanks. thanks.. thanks. :)

[jpetrucci05]

R becomes S, or vica versa, MOST of the time depending on CIP priority changes

[DODGE222]

backside attack

[capriccioso35]

whaatt need more detail

[Paedomorphosis]

INVERTED PRODUCT!

[hamsterpoop]

sexy ;)
