On the other side, SN2 reactions are characterised for exchanging substituents. The substituent that leaves the molecule is called leaving group. | On the other side, SN2 reactions are characterised for exchanging substituents. The substituent that leaves the molecule is called leaving group. | ||
Typically, alkanes with a substituent in primary position undergo S<sub>N</sub>2 reactions. In contrast to a S<sub>N</sub>1 reaction, no stable carbo cation can be formed. Therefore, another way will be taken. | Typically, alkanes with a substituent in primary position undergo S<sub>N</sub>2 reactions.
