Kinetics of Solvolysis: A Study of the Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction II
Introduction Solvolysis refers to an SN1/SN2 nucleophilic substitution or elimination reaction in which the nucleophile is a solvent. Conventionally, solvolysis of chiral reactants through the SN1 yields a racemate (Chen et al., 2023). Sometimes, the stereochemistry pathway is complex given that the leaving anion remains close to the carbocation, thus shielding it from an attack ... Read More
