4.12 Reaction of methyl and 1o alcohols with HX – SN2
4.12 Substitution Reaction Mechanism - SN2
Transition state
• Alternative pathway for alcohols that cannot form a good carbocation
• Rate determining step is bimolecular (therefore SN2)
• Reaction profile is a smooth, continuous curve (concerted)

• Convenient way to halogenate a 1o or 2o alcohol
• Avoids use of strong acids such as HCl or HBr
• Usually via SN2 mechanism

Radical abstraction of H is selective since the stability of the ensuing radical is reflected in the transition state achieved during abstraction.

Lower energy, formed faster

Bromination – late TS looks a lot like radical

76%, only product
Chlorination – early TS looks less like radical
Consider propagation steps – endothermic with Br·, exothermic with Cl·
