FTP, give the alphanumeric designation for this type of organic reaction, known as a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution.
Optical purity is maintained as a result of this kind of reaction, which also results in an inversion of configuration arising from trigonal bipyramid transition state, which indicates its concerted mechanism. Its rate is greatly accelerated through the use of polar and aprotic solvents, and this reaction requires the presence of a good leaving group. Nearly impossible to perform with a trisubstituted compound due to steric factors, its mechanism is often an attack by a negatively-charged species on the backside of a carbon attached to a halide.
