SN2 Reaction (Ethyl Bromide + Hydroxide)

C₂H₅Br + OH⁻ → C₂H₅OH + Br⁻

अवलोकन

Hydroxide ion attacks the carbon bearing bromine in a backside attack, simultaneously displacing bromide. This bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) proceeds through a single transition state with inversion of stereochemistry (Walden inversion). The rate depends on both nucleophile and substrate concentrations.
