nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions

Acylation - Aliphatic and aromatic primary and secondary amines undergo acylation through nucleophilic substitution of acid derivatives such as acid halides or anhydrides to form amides. This reaction generates an acid which may react with the amine..

In this type of substitution, atom or group of atoms in the molecule is replaced by a nucleophile. These can be either S N 1 (substitution, nucleophilic, unimolecular) or S N 2 (substitution, nucleophilic, bimolecular) type. In the S N 1 ..

In the C-X bond there is a partial positive charge on the carbon atom and negative on the halogen atom. Thus nucleophilies attack the electron deficient carbon resulting in the displacement of the weaker nucleophile, the halide ion. Reactions of alkyl halides are generally ..

Acyl halides undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution with several nucleophiles. i) They react with water to give carboxylic acids. This is called hydrolysis. ..
