The subject of an exciting debate —does electron transfer play a role in bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (a)? How would this reaction differ from the classical S N 2 reaction (b)? A number of research groups have employed electrochemical and computational methods to determine if alternatives exist for one of the best known mechanisms in organic chemistry.
