SN2 Reaction Mechanisms

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the SN2 reaction mechanism. It explains how to write the mechanism that leads to the major product of an SN2 reaction. It discusses the stereochemistry of the SN2 reaction which proceeds with inversion of configuration. It mentions substrate reactivity, nucleophilic strength in a protic solvent and in a polar aprotic solvent as well problems involving the chair conformation of an alkyl halide. The full version contains a few synthesis SN2 reaction problems.

    a little late sorry but the iodine has a negative charge while the bromine does not, halogens will be nucleophilic if they are charged but they will be electrophilic if they are attached to a sp3 hybridized carbon

    no you're right, he made a mistake. As you go to the right in a row of the periodic table nucleophilicity decreases, for the same reason basicity decreases: the atoms are more stable with their negative charge, leading to them reacting less.

    You wanna look at the carbon that attaches to the Bromine atom. Along with the bond to Bromine, it also bonds to two other Carbon atoms. The number of carbon atoms that a carbon is attached to is what determines whether it is primary, secondary, tertiary, etc.
