With standard S N 1 reaction conditions the reaction outcome is retention via a competing S N i mechanism and not racemization and with pyridine added the result is again inversion. [5] [3] S N i reaction mechanism Sn1 occurs in tertiary carbon while Sn2 occurs in primary carbon
The negatively charged halide ion shields the carbocation from being attacked on the front side, and backside attack, which leads to inversion of configuration, is preferred. Thus the actual product no doubt consists of a mixture of enantiomers but the enantiomers with inverted configuration would predominate and complete racemization does not ...
A more detailed explanation of this can be found in the main SN1 reaction page. S N 2 reaction mechanism. The S N 2 mechanism has just one step. The attack of the reagent and the expulsion of the leaving group happen simultaneously. This mechanism always results in inversion of configuration.
In the Walden inversion, the backside attack by the nucleophile in an S N 2 reaction gives rise to a product whose configuration is opposite to the reactant. Therefore, during S N 2 reaction, 100% inversion of product takes place. This is known as Walden inversion. It was first observed by chemist Paul Walden in 1896.
Sigmatropic rearrangements are concisely described by an order term [i,j], which is defined as the migration of a σ-bond adjacent to one or more π systems to a new position (i−1) and (j−1) atoms removed from the original location of the σ-bond. [3]

Donald Trump blamed Gavin Newsom for “apocalyptic” wildfires raging in southern California on Wednesday, but the governor's office hit back at the president-elect and accused him of "playing ...
That could explain why we get sick with these kinds of viruses from our respiratory tracts, as one study examining immune responses in naval cavities’ cells found. But we go inside in the winter ...
