3.1.2 – SN2 Mechanisms
Learning Objectives
- For an SN2 reaction, predict products, write reaction schemes, draw curved arrow mechanisms, and draw energy profile diagrams, including all intermediates and transition states.
- For an SN2 reaction, understand the relationship between the energy profile diagram, curved arrow mechanism, and rate law.
- Rank carbocations in terms of their stability and their propensity to undergo SN2 mechanisms.
