Ochem substitution and Elimination
Question | Answer |
---|---|
aprotic solvent | A solvent that does not have Hydrogen, therefore no H-bonding will occur. |
aprotic polar solvent | solvents that lack an acidic hydrogen these compounds have high dielectric constants and high dipole moments. Great for Sn2 reactions. Examples: DMF, HMPA, DMSO |
base | A molecule who's interactions are determined by acid base equilibrium |
basicity | Strength of a base: determined by size and electronegativity |
back-side attack | When a nucleophile interacts with a reactant that is sp3 hybridized it must approach from the opposite side of the leaving group in order for enough orbital overlap to occur for bonding |
