Abstract:
The SN2 reaction of Br- with methylnaphthalene-2-sulfonate (MeONs) in water is accelerated by micelles of tetradecyldialkyl amine oxide (alkyl = methyl, n-propyl) and rates increase sharply in HBr due to increased binding of Br- to the protonated amine oxide. Second-order rate constants at the micellar surface are similar to those at surfaces of trialkylammonium and sulfobetaine micelles. The reaction of OH- with MeONs is weakly inhibited by amine oxide micelles, showing that dispersive, as well as coulombic and charge-dipole, forces play a major role in the association of ions with surfaces of micellar aggregates.

Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
In 1896, the German chemist Paul Walden discovered that he could interconvert pure enantiomeric (+) and (-) malic acids through a series of reactions. This conversion suggested the involvement of optical inversion during the substitution reaction. Further, in 1930, Sir Christopher Ingold described for the first time two different forms of nucleophilic substitution reactions, which are known as SN1 (nucleophilic substitution unimolecular) and SN2 (nucleophilic substitution...
