What is the configuration of the chiral carbon?

SN2 is stereospecific: the nucleophile attacks fromthe back while the leaving group leaves from the front.

Stereospecific consequence: when attacked carbon is chiral, there will be inversionof configuration.*

*provided the nucleophile and LG have same priority ranking and attacked carbon remains chiral.

When Nu and LG bonds are in the plane of screen,inversion of configuration occurs as the D, ethyl and H keep their bond characteristics(i.e., wedge stays wedge), but switch their angles (all initially angled to left with heavy group on right, ended up angled to right with heavy group on left) .

vs

Within the same family, the larger the nucleophilic atom,the stronger the nucleophile.

1) The larger nucleophilic atom is more polarizable,(it can form a partial bond at a greater distancewhich helps stabilize the TS).

vsF I

Within the same family, the larger the nucleophilic atom,the stronger the nucleophile.

2) The larger nucleophilic atom is less solvatedin protic solvents, (it can break away from the solvent easier to displace the leaving group).

neutral < negatively charged

less basic < more basic (same atom)

more EN < less EN (same period)
