30 Νοε 2012 · For our purposes, “ strong ” nucleophiles/bases are negatively charged and “ weak” nucleophiles/bases are neutral. A good rule of thumb is to expect SN2/E2 with “ strong ‘ (i.e. negatively charged) nucleophiles/bases and expect SN1/E1 with neutral nucleophiles/bases.

24 Μαΐ 2021 · The rate of an S N 2 reaction is significantly influenced by the solvent in which the reaction takes place. The use of protic solvents (those, such as water or alcohols, with hydrogen-bond donating capability) decreases the power of the nucleophile through strong solvation.
Some general guidelines for understanding S N 2 reactions include: (a) stronger bases are better nucleophiles, unless an E2 pathway is accessible which benefits more from a strong base than S N 2; (b) leaving groups with a weak bond to the substrate present enhanced reactivity (C−I ≫ C−F); (c) increasingly electropositive central atoms ...
Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N 2) reactions are concerted, meaning they are a one step process. This means that the process whereby the nucleophile attacks and the leaving group leaves is simultaneous.
More specifically in laboratory reactions, halide and azide (N 3-) anions are commonly seen acting as nucleophiles. Of course, carbons can also be nucleophiles - otherwise how could new carbon-carbon bonds be formed in the synthesis of large organic molecules like DNA or fatty acids?
The Nucleophile. Another variable that has a major effect on the S N 2 reaction is the nature of the nucleophile. Any species, either neutral or negatively charged, can act as a nucleophile as long as it has an unshared pair of electrons; that is, as long as it is a Lewis base.
1 Ιαν 2017 · This chapter provides a critical review of the rich literature on the topic with emphasis on how the physical properties of the reacting molecules govern S N 2 reactivity. Valuable insight into such relationships has traditionally been obtained from kinetic studies of reactions occurring in solution.
