Inversion of configuration occurs in ______.
विकल्प
SN2 reaction
SN1 reaction
Neither SN2 nor SN1 reaction
SN1 as well as SN2 reaction
उत्तर
Inversion of configuration occurs in SN1 as well as SN2 reaction.
Explanation:
In the SN1 reaction, both resented and inverted products are generated, whereas, in the SN2 reaction, only the inverted product is formed.

The decreasing order of reactivity of the following compounds towards nucleophilic substitution (SN2) is ______.
The following questions are case-based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
|
Nucleophilic Substitution: Influences of solvent polarity: The reaction rate (SN2) of 2-bromopropane and NaOH in ethanol containing 40% water is twice slower than in absolute ethanol. Hence the level of solvent polarity has an influence on both SN1 and SN2 reactions but with different results. Generally speaking, a weak polar solvent is favourable for SN2 reaction, while a strong polar solvent is favourable for SN1. Generally speaking, the substitution reaction of tertiary haloalkane is based on SN1 mechanism in solvents with a strong polarity (for example ethanol containing water). |
