(a) (b) (c) 53. In an acyclic (noncyclic) haloalkane the hybridization around the halogen-bearing carbon is sp3 , and the bond angles are about 109°. In the transition state for an SN2 reaction this carbon has rehybridized to sp2 , and the bond angles involving the three nonreacting groups around this carbon have expanded to 120°: Now take a look at a hypothetical SN2 reaction on a halocyclopropane (below). The substrate, with ring bond angles of 60°, is already very strained because its carbons would of course prefer to have bond angles of 109°, corresponding to sp3 hybridization. The amount of strain in the substrate is related to this 109 60 49° bond angle compression. However, bond angle compression in the SN2 transition state would be even worse: It wants its bond angles to open up even more, to 120°! With a bond angle compression of 120 60 60°, the SN2 transition state for a halocyclopropane is much more strained than the halocyclopropane itself, leading to a much higher activation barrier (Ea). A similar analysis fits for halocyclobutanes.
