Why do chemists believe that these mechanisms are accurate models for chemical reactions? Do primary alkyl halides such as 1-chlorobutane really react mostly via an SN2 pathway?

Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction We have covered nucleophilic substitution reactions in class. These are extremely important reactions both for synthesis in lab and in biological systems. This lab gives you a chance to carry out a nucleophilic substitution reaction, and a chance to experience how scientists determine the mechanism which governs a reaction. When organic chemistry […]
