- Because the carbocation is formed in the first step of an SN1 reaction, the reaction is planar and so nucleophiles can
- Because nucleophiles are also bases, nucleophilic substitution, and base-promoted eliminations are...
- In an SN2 reaction, the stereochemistry of the reaction is a key feature of the mechanism. As the nucleophile approaches the electrophile carbon from the _____ side with respect to the leaving group, the resulting product will display an ______ of configuration.
- Polar aprotic solvents solubilize cations well, but they do not interact strongly with anions because
