In this tutorial we'll go through the intricacies of the SN2 reactions.

00:00 What is SN2?
01:52 SN2 is a concerted mechanism
02:45 Reaction energy diagram
03:44 Inversion of stereochemistry
07:13 Molecular orbital stuff
08:51 Position of LG matters
10:11 Solvent matters too (but to a smaller extent)
10:50 Recap

PS: I've made an error in the bromobutane molecular formula, it, of course, should be C4H9Br.
