- transfer, followed by bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction [8]. Endohedral metallofullerenes, wherein one or more metal atoms are encapsulated inside a fullerene cage, have garnered research interest [12][13][14][15]. The encapsulation of metal atoms can result in electron transfer from the
- derivatives followed by the radical coupling reaction is more plausible for the formation of the corresponding adducts rather than the SN2 reaction mechanism of the La@C2v-C82 anion with benzyl bromide derivatives. Conclusion The reaction of La@C2v-C82 anion with benzyl bromide derivatives 1 at 110 °C

- chromatography. Because 4.6 was obtained in better yields and in only 3 steps, the epimerization of 4.6 to 4.10 was also reported (Figure 4B). This epimerization is achieved in three-step sequence that starts with the double tosylation of 4.6 to produce 4.11. Then, the SN2 reaction with potassium acetate in DMSO
- mesylation produced 17.3. Then, the nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction of benzoate with 17.3 produced the benzoate ester 17.4 with an inversion of configuration. Then, the two protecting groups (ester and trityl) were removed to produce (S)-17.6. The modification of the sn-2 position is illustrated in
- Figure 17B starting from the mesylate derivative (S)-17.3. Its reaction with sodium azide produced, following a SN2 reaction, the azido derivative 17.7.

- by intramolecular SN2 reaction at the 5-position by sulfur atom. Secondary, ring contraction from thiopyranose to thiofuranose occurred to produce 5-aldehyde 26. Finally, hydride reduction of 26 gave the 4-thiofuranose derivative 27. The Pummerer-type glycosylation reaction of 5-O-silylated sulfoxide
- reacted with a nucleobase, giving a mixture of α- and β-anomers since the reaction might occur by the simple SN2 reaction. Thus, the reaction proceeded through both paths a and b in method A, but path a was predominant in the reaction of method B [45] (Figure 3). Nishizono et al. applied the hypervalent
- catalyzed the intramolecular SN2 reaction of sulfur to form the epi-sulfonium ion 55, which proceeded only from the cis-isomer due to the steric requirement. The subsequent nucleophilic attack leaving the benzoate anion resulted in the formation of a ring-expanded product 56, which became a substrate of the

- proceed via an SN2 reaction of a cyclic intermediate such as I1, judging from the syn selectivity of the dioxytosylation [52][53]. The attack of the tosylate ion on I1 possibly takes place at the benzylic position or at the methylene carbon atom. The positive charge of I1 may be stabilized by the aryl
- styrene with 4a–e preferentially gave (S)-3, which forms via an electrophilic addition of the iodane toward the Si face of styrene, followed by an SN2 reaction with the tosylate ion. If an SN1 mechanism were involved in the oxytosylation of I1, the enantiomeric ratio of 3 would decrease owing to the
- planar structure of the benzylic cation. Thus, the tosylate ion may act as an effective nucleophile for the SN2 reaction of I1. The stereoface-differentiation in the dioxytosylation reaction using the lactate-derived aryl-λ3-iodanes is similar to that in preceding reactions [14], which include the
