Chapter 7, Problem 7.21P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To draw the structure of the transition state in the given SN2 reactions.

Concept introduction:

SN2 reaction is a special type of reaction mechanism in organic chemistry. It is kind of nucleophilic substitution reaction. Nucleophilic substitutions are Lewis acid-base reactions. In this reaction the nucleophile donates its electron pair, the alkyl halide (Lewis acid) accepts it, and the C-X bond is heterolytically cleaved.
