Study Notes
SN1 Mechanism
- The rate-determining step involves a unimolecular process
- The rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of the substrate
SN2 Mechanism
- Characterized by a bimolecular process
- The transition state involves a pentacoordinate carbon atom
- The nucleophile attacks the carbon atom from the backside, resulting in an inversion of stereochemistry
- Stereochemistry of the product shows an inversion of configuration
