This reaction type was discovered in 1970 by Bunnett and Kim and the abbreviation S RN 1 stands for "'substitution radical-nucleophilic unimolecular "'as it shares properties with an aliphatic SN1 reaction.
42.
The reaction type is so common that it has other names, e . g . " bimolecular nucleophilic substitution ", or, among inorganic chemists, " associative substitution " or " interchange mechanism ".
43.
This reaction type is linked to many forms of neighbouring group participation, for instance the reaction of the sulfur or nitrogen lone pair in sulfur mustard or nitrogen mustard to form the cationic intermediate.

NPP is another precursor that can undergo different reaction types, but in this case, bisabolene synthase directs a single cyclization event by electrophilic attack of C-1 onto the double bond of C-6 to form a six-membered ring.
45.
This reaction type is of interest to green chemistry because it greatly reduces the usage of organic solvents, reaction product isolation is relatively easy, and it increases the yields and chemical purity with little extra expenditure, if not less.
46.
The methyl chloride reaction ( only S N 2 possible ) on the other hand has a KIE of 0.85 consistent with a S N 2 reaction because in this reaction type the C-H bonds tighten in the transition state.
47.
Then in 1967 researchers at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company described a novel catalyst system for the metathesis of 2-pentene based on tungsten hexachloride, ethanol the organoaluminum compound EtAlMe 2 and also proposed a name for this reaction type : olefin metathesis.

Organic substitution reactions are classified in several main organic reaction types depending on whether the reagent that brings about the substitution is considered an electrophile or a nucleophile, whether a reactive intermediate involved in the reaction is a carbocation, a carbanion or a substrate is aliphatic or aromatic.
