SN2 Reaction: nucleophilicity WWU -- Chemistry
is morenucleophilic! Predict which is more nucleophilic WWU -- Chemistry
Relative Nucleophilicity 1) In general, stronger bases are better nucleophiles 2) However, iodide doesn’t fit that pattern (weak base, but great nucleophile!) 3) Cyanide is an excellent nucleophile because of its linear structure 4) Sulfur is better than oxygen as a nucleophile WWU -- Chemistry
SN2 Reaction: Leaving Groups • Best leaving groups leave to form weakLewis bases. • Good leaving groups: • Br, I, Cl, OTs, OH2+ • “Lousy” leaving groups: • OH, OR, NH2,, F WWU -- Chemistry

SN2 Reaction: solvents SN2 reactions are accelerated in polar, aprotic solvents. Consider Na+-OEt as an example of a nucleophile. Why are reactions accelerated? The Na+ cation is complexed by the negative part of the aprotic solvent molecule pulling it away from –OEt. Now that the sodium ion is complexed, the oxygen in the nucleophile –OEt is more available for attack. WWU -- Chemistry
Aprotic solvents • These solvents do not have OH bonds in them. They complex the cation through the lone pairs on oxygen or nitrogen: WWU -- Chemistry
How cations are complexed with aprotic solvents WWU -- Chemistry
Now that the Na+ is complexed, the –OEt can react more easily WWU -- Chemistry
SN2 Reaction: solvents SN2 reactions areretarded (slowed) in polar, protic solvents. Protic solvents have O-H groups. Why are reactions retarded? Nucleophile is hydrogen bonded to solvent! WWU -- Chemistry

Nucleophiles • Usually SN1 reactions are run in polar protic solvents; compounds with O-H groups. • The polar protic solvent acts as BOTH nucleophile as well as the solvent. • Common solvent/nucleophiles include: water, ethanol, methanol, acetic acid, and formic acid. WWU -- Chemistry
A protic solvent acts as both a solvent and nucleophile in SN1 reactions - solvolysis: abbreviations WWU -- Chemistry
Typical solvolysis reaction Polar solvent stabilizes the carbocation! Solvent is the nucleophile WWU -- Chemistry
Leaving groups • Leaving groups are the same as in SN2 reactions: • Cl, Br, I, OTs are the usual ones. WWU -- Chemistry
