Abstract

A general form of an ion-molecule replacement reaction occurring at a saturated carbon atom may be represented by

Y-+R-X⇋Y-R+X-

where Y- is a negatively charged atom or group which can replace an atom or group X in the molecule R-X and R is any organic radical which is saturated at the point of attachment of X. The mechanisms which have been postulated for the above reaction may be divided into the following two groups: (1) those which assume primary dissociation of the neutral organic reaction into ions as the rate-determining step; (2) those which postulate the formation of an activated complex from the two reactants as the rate-determining step.
