Nucleophilicity and basicity are related but are fundamentally different.
Basicity = How much? = Ka or pKa = thermodynamic property.
Nucleophilicity .. How fast? = rate constant, k, = a kinetic property.

Note: Methyl and primary RX do not undergo SN1 rxns

What is the explanation for this trend in SN1 reactivity among RX?
![Page 84: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
To answer this question we again returnto the mechanism and the energydiagram, in particular the T.S. of the r.d.s.
![Page 85: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Carbocation stability affects the T.S. of the r.d.s.
![Page 86: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Two questions:
(1) Why does the stability of C+ increase with more R groups?
(2) Why does the C+ affect the T.S.?
![Page 87: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Carbocation stability is determined by:
(1) inductive effects and (2) hyperconjugation.
Let’s look at the inductive effect argument first
![Page 88: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
More positive charge at C+ = a more unstable C+
![Page 89: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)

Delocalization of the positive charge on
C+ = increased carbocation stability

Now let’s look at the second question.s:
(2) Why does the C+ affect the T.S.?
(1) Why does the stability of C+ increase with more R groups?
![Page 92: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)

We can’t see or measure the T.S. directly.
![Page 94: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
However, we can see or measure the reactantor product on either side of the T.S.
![Page 95: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
The T.S. should resemble the side which bestapproximates its energy.
![Page 96: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
The Hammond Postulate
• The Hammond postulate relates reaction rate to stability. It provides a quantitative estimate of the energy of a transition state.
• The Hammond postulate states that the transition state of a reaction resembles the structure of the species (reactant or product) to which it is closer in energy.
![Page 106: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
The Hammond Postulate
• In an endothermic reaction, the transition state resembles the products more than the reactants, so anything that stabilizes the product stabilizes the transition state also. Thus, lowering the energy of the transition state decreases Ea, which increases the reaction rate.
• If there are two possible products in an endothermic reaction, but one is more stable than the other, the transition state to form the more stable product is lower in energy, so this reaction should occur faster.
![Page 107: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
The Hammond Postulate
• In the case of an exothermic reaction, the transition state resembles the reactants more than the products. Thus, lowering the energy of the products has little or not effect on the energy of the transition state.
• Since Ea is unaffected, the reaction rate is unaffected.
• The conclusion is that in an exothermic reaction, the more stable product may or may not form faster because Ea is similar for both products.
![Page 108: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
SN1 Reactions, Nitrosamines and Cancer
• SN1 reactions are thought to play a role in how nitrosamines, compounds having the general structure R2NN=O, act as toxins and carcinogens.
![Page 109: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic SubstitutionPredicting the Likely Mechanism of a Substitution Reaction.• Four factors are relevant in predicting whether a given reaction
is likely to proceed by an SN1 or an SN2 reaction—The most important is the identity of the alkyl halide.
![Page 110: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic SubstitutionPredicting the Likely Mechanism of a Substitution Reaction.• The nature of the nucleophile is another factor. • Strong nucleophiles (which usually bear a negative charge)
present in high concentrations favor SN2 reactions.
• Weak nucleophiles, such as H2O and ROH favor SN1 reactions by decreasing the rate of any competing SN2 reaction.
• Let us compare the substitution products formed when the 20 alkyl halide A is treated with either a strong nucleophile HO¯ or the weak nucleophile H2O. Because a 20 alkyl halide can react by either mechanism, the strength of the nucleophile determines which mechanism takes place.
![Page 111: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
Predicting the Likely Mechanism of a Substitution Reaction.• The strong nucleophile favors an SN2 reaction.
• The weak nucleophile favors an SN1 reaction.

Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic SubstitutionPredicting the Likely Mechanism of a Substitution Reaction.• A better leaving group increases the rate of both SN1 and SN2
reactions.
![Page 113: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
Predicting the Likely Mechanism of a Substitution Reaction.
• The nature of the solvent is a fourth factor.
• Polar protic solvents like H2O and ROH favor SN1 reactions because the ionic intermediates (both cations and anions) are stabilized by solvation.
• Polar aprotic solvents favor SN2 reactions because nucleophiles are not well solvated, and therefore, are more nucleophilic.
![Page 114: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)

Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
Vinyl Halides and Aryl Halides.
• Vinyl and aryl halides do not undergo SN1 or SN2 reactions, because heterolysis of the C—X bond would form a highly unstable vinyl or aryl cation.

Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
Nucleophilic Substitution and Organic Synthesis.
• To carry out the synthesis of a particular compound, we must think backwards, and ask ourselves: What starting material and reagents are needed to make it?
• If we are using nucleophilic substitution, we must determine what alkyl halide and what nucleophile can be used to form a specific product.
![Page 118: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Alkyl Halides and Nucleophilic Substitution
Nucleophilic Substitution and Organic Synthesis.
• To determine the two components needed for synthesis, remember that the carbon atoms come from the organic starting material, in this case, a 10 alkyl halide. The functional group comes from the nucleophile, HO¯ in this case. With these two components, we can “fill in the boxes” to complete the synthesis.
![Page 119: Chapter 7 Alkyl Halides and Nu Substitution. Characteristics of RX.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649d095503460f949db944/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)

Mechanisms of Nucleophilic Substitution
The SN2 reaction is a key step in the laboratory synthesis of many important drugs.

Mechanisms of Nucleophilic SubstitutionNucleophilic substitution reactions are important in biological systems as well.
This reaction is called methylation because a CH3 group is transferred from one compound (SAM) to another (:Nu¯).
