Nucleophilic Substitution with nucleophile• Nucleophile (electron pair donor)• Attack the electron deficient carbon • Bond breaking and Bond Making in

transition state• Single step mechanism• SN2 mechanism

Single StepNucleophilic Substitution SN2• Undergo SN2 mechanism, Bimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution

CH3CH2Br + OH- → CH3CH2OH + Br-

• Single step mechanism – Bond breaking and Bond making in transition state• Involve collision between 2 molecules• Rate is dependent on concentration of CH3CH2Br and OH-

• Molecularity = 2• Experimentally rate expression = k [CH3CH2Br][OH-]

Mechanism for Nucleophilic Substitution

HO: -

H │ OH- + CH3 – C –Br │ H

H H │ │CH3 - C – Br + OH- CH3 – C –OH + Br - │ │ H H

Single step mechanism – Bond breaking and Bond making in transition state• Involve collision between 2 molecules• no bulky alkyl gp, less steric effect – • allows nucleophile to attack the electron deficient carbon from the opposite site

CH3CH2Br + OH- → CH3CH2OH + Br- Single step through transition state

OH - + C2H5OH ↔ H2O + C2H5O-

C2H5O- (ethoxide ion) is a stronger base due to

• Inductive effect of alkyl group pushing electron to O• Acts as a base not nucleophile by removing H+/proton acceptor
