SN2
The rate(speed) of reaction is directly
proportional to the concentration of either
reactant. When the concentration of either
reactant is doubled, the rate of reaction doubles.

Rate-Determining Step
In a multistep reaction the rate of reaction is
the rate of the SLOWEST step

Effect of the Concentration Strength of the Nu
For SN1 reaction
Rate kRX Rate of SN1 rx - NOT affected by
concentration or identity of the Nu?
For SN2 reaction
Rate kNuRX Rate of SN2 reactions depends on
both identity concentration of the Nu?
Ch. 6 - 40

Relative strength of a Nu?
Nucleophilicities roughly parallels basicities if
comparing Nus with the same nucleophilic atom.
e.g. for O,
When the nucleophilic atoms are different,
nucleophilicities may not parallel basicities
Ch. 6 - 41
41
Relative strength of a Nu?
42
Identity of the Nu? The strength
(nucleophilicity) of a Nu? is a measure of its
SN2 reaction rate with a substrate

Solvent Effects on SN2 and SN1 Reactions
Classification of solvents
Ch. 6 - 45

Best solvents for SN2 rxs are Polar Aprotic
solvents

• strong dipoles
• and no OH or NH groups

Ch. 6 - 46

Polar APROTIC solvents solvate cations
