SN2 reactions
« on: November 24, 2007, 10:49:23 PM »
show how the following transformation may be achieved:

(R)-CH3CH(OSO2CH3)CH2CH3 ----> (S)-CH3CH(N3)CH2CH3

so OSO2CH3 is the leaving group and N3 is the nucleophile. how do i know which solvent to use and to what cation does the N3 attach to??

I think the most important question is if the nucleophile has a charge or not.
