SN2 Reaction Examples To Give Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols, Sulfies, Alkynes, and More.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Summary-SN2<\/a><\/p>\n

Having gone through the mechanism<\/a> of the SN<\/sub>2 reaction, let’s take a second and look at why it might be useful.<\/p>\n

In nucleophilic substitution reactions, we’re trading a carbon-(leaving group) bond for a carbon-(nucleophile) bond.<\/p>\n

If we choose a good leaving group – i.e. an appropriately weak base – we can use this reaction with a *large* variety of nucleophiles.<\/p>\n

The SN<\/sub>2 Reaction Is Incredibly Powerful And Can Be Used To Build A Large Number Of Functional Groups From Alkyl Halides<\/h2>\n

I could write many more words about this, but instead, here’s a table. Look at all the different functional groups you can make from just this one reaction!<\/p>\n

\"table<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong> – some of these substitution reactions work better than others, \u00a0especially on secondary carbons – depending on conditions, elimination reactions can start to compete when strong bases are used. We’ll get there!<\/p>\n
