SN2 Reactions

[@kinkshift7459]

I’ll be awaiting the Sn2 examples video. These tutorials are great!

[@VictortheOrganicChemistryTutor]

Thanks! And it'll be coming up soon 😃

[@curtpiazza1688]

Wow! I like your teaching style! 😊

[@VictortheOrganicChemistryTutor]

Thank you! 😃

[@steveng724]

I think a video about transition states , delta G , delta H , and intermediates would provide valuable prerequisite knowledge about Sn2. Thank you for your high quality videos victor.

[@VictortheOrganicChemistryTutor]

A dedicated video on transition states is indeed a good idea. 👍

Hi Victor I have a question regarding SN2 reaction. Hope you can help. How to solve (s)-2-chloropentane and NASH.

[@VictortheOrganicChemistryTutor]

If by NASH you mean NaHS (sodium hydrogen sulfide), the it's quite straightforward backside attack giving you (R)-2-pentanethiol. I'm not familiar with what else NASH might be. I tried to look it up, but there are quite a few different results, so if my initial assumption is incorrect, maybe you can clarify what you mean here by NASH 🤷‍♂️

So you’re saying that the inversion of stereochemistry only happens on a chiral C?

[@VictortheOrganicChemistryTutor]

It always happens regardless of atom being chiral or not. If atom is not chiral, however, there's no *visible* inversion, in other words, there's nothing for us to show as a meaningful inversion, but it still happens.

[@steveng724]

I just had this EXACT same confusion , inversion occurs regardless as long as there is a wedge or dash. If there is no wedge or dash in theory inversion still occurs but in practice you can't visually show it since you cant do a wedge --> dash or dash--> wedge. It could be achiral but if it had a wedge or dash you would still invert it.
