Q
Q: What is the stereochemical outcome of the S_N2 reaction?
Solution:
S_N2 reactions result in inversion of configuration at the carbon center where substitution occurs.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that S_N2 is a type of chemical reaction where one group is replaced by another group on a carbon atom.
Step 2: Identify the carbon atom that is being substituted in the reaction.
Step 3: Recognize that the incoming group approaches the carbon atom from the opposite side of the leaving group.
Step 4: Visualize the process: as the new group attaches, the old group leaves, causing the arrangement of atoms around the carbon to flip.
Step 5: Conclude that this flipping of arrangement is called 'inversion of configuration'.
