Document Summary

Solvent acts as a nu in solvation reaction. Solvent uses lone to form a bond with. Another solvent molecule comes and deprotonates first molecule. C+ formation is the rate determining slow step. Solvent nucleophile attached in place of lg. Primary lg reacting with polar aprotic solvent. B- hydrogen that sits on carbon next to carbocation. H will give its electron to allow its c to form a double bond with the carbocation. Solvent will deprotonate c+ at this hydrogen (beta) Pi bond between alpha and beta c. Pi bond between alpha and beta carbon. Heat to stabilize pi bond that will form. H will donate its electrons to form a bond between its carbon and lg s carbon. This new bond formation will kick off lg. Pi bond between alpha and more substituted b-carbon. No c+ because strong attacker and fast reaction.
