SN2 Reaction Mechanisms

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the SN2 reaction mechanism. It explains how to write the mechanism that leads to the major product of an SN2 reaction. It discusses the stereochemistry of the SN2 reaction which proceeds with inversion of configuration. It mentions substrate reactivity, nucleophilic strength in a protic solvent and in a polar aprotic solvent as well problems involving the chair conformation of an alkyl halide. The full version contains a few synthesis SN2 reaction problems.
