organic chemistry - Why do we get slightly more inversion …
Dec 3, 2017 · 27 Theoretically, in $\mathrm {S_N1}$ reaction we should get a racemic mixture as the product because the nucleophile can attack from either side of the formed carbocation. …
Why do SN1 and SN2 reactions not occur at sp2 centres?
Jul 20, 2014 · Not a bad question, but a poor answer. The person who mentioned $\mathrm {S_N2}$' is on a much better track. Nucleophilic attack on a carbonyl or 1,4-Michael acceptor …
organic chemistry - Why is the reaction rate of tert-butyl chloride ...
Nov 9, 2022 · The solvent is polar protic, so the mechanism is SN1. However, I don't understand how the composition of water and acetone in the solvent affects the reaction rate.
