Solvolysis is a special type of nucleophilic substitution or elimination reaction elimination where the nucleophile is a solvent molecule. For certain nucleophiles, there are specific terms for the type of solvolysis reaction. For water molecule water , the term is hydrolysis for alcohols, it is alcoholysis for ammonia , it is ammonolysis for glycol s, glycolysis for amine s, aminolysis . Hydrolysis main hydrolysis While solvolysis often refers to an organic chemistry context, hydrolysis is very common in inorganic chemistry , where aqua complex chemistry complexes of metal ions react with solvent molecules due to the Lewis acid ity of the metal center. For example, aqueous solutions of aluminium chloride are acidic due to the Metal ions in aqueous solution aqua aluminium complex losing protons to water molecules, giving hydronium ions which lowers the pH . In organic chemistry, hydrolysis reactions often give two fragments from an initial substrate. For example, the hydrolysis of amide s give carboxylic acid s and amine s the hydrolysis of ester s give alcohols and carboxylic acid s. Alcoholysis Unreferenced section date March 2012 An example of a solvolysis reaction is the reaction of a triglyceride with a simple alcohol such as methanol or ethanol to give the methyl or ethyl ester s of the fatty acid, as well as glycerol . This reaction is more commonly known as a transesterification reaction due to the exchange of the alcohol fragments. Solvolysis of a chirality chemistry chiral reactant results in the racemate as expected in S sub N sub 1 but is often accompanied by Walden inversion . This is explained by postulating an intimate ion pair whereby the leaving anion is still in proximity to the carbocation and effectively shielding it from an attack by the nucleophile.

In less Chemical polarity polar solvents two ions can still be connected to some extent. In a tight or intimate or contact ion pair there are no solvent molecules between the two ions. When solvation increases, ionic bonding decreases and a loose or solvent shared ion pair results. The ion pair concept explains stereochemistry in solvolysis . The concept of intimate ion pairs is used to explain the slight tendency for inversion of stereochemistry during an SN1 reaction . It is proposed that solvent or other ions in solution may assist in the removal of a leaving group to form a carbocation which reacts in an SN1 fashion similarly, the leaving group may associate loosely with the cationic intermediate. The association of solvent or an ion with the leaving group effectively blocks one side of the incipient carbocation, while allowing the backside to be attacked by a nucleophile. This leads to a slight excess of the product with inverted stereochemistry, whereas a purely SN1 reaction should lead to a racemic product.

In chemistry the reactivity selectivity principle or RSP states that a more reactive chemical compound or reactive intermediate is less selective in chemical reactions. In this context selectivity represents the ratio of reaction rate s. This principle was generally accepted until the 1970s when too many exceptions started to appear. The principle is now considered obsolete ref Minireview The Reactivity Selectivity Principle An Imperishable Myth in Organic Chemistry Herbert Mayr, Armin R. Ofial Angewandte Chemie International Edition Volume 45, Issue 12 , Pages 1844 1854 http dx.doi.org 10.1002 anie.200503273 Abstract ref . A classic example of perceived RSP found in older organic textbooks concerns the free radical halogenation of simple alkane s. Whereas the relatively unreactive bromine reacts with 2 methylbutane predominantly to 2 bromo 2 methylbutane, the reaction with much more reactive chlorine results in a mixture of all four regioisomer s. Another example of RSP can be found in the selectivity of the reaction of certain carbocation s with azide s and water . The very stable triphenylmethyl carbocation derived from solvolysis of the corresponding triphenylmethyl chloride reacts 100 times faster with the azide anion than with water. When the carbocation is the very reactive tertiary adamantane carbocation as judged from diminished reaction rate rate of solvolysis this difference is only a factor of 10. Constant or inverse relationships are just as frequent. For example a group of 3 and 4 substituted pyridine s in their reactivity quantified by their pKa show the same selectivity in their reactions with a group of alkylating reagents. The reason for the early success of RSP was that the experiments involved very reactive intermediates with reactivities close to kinetic diffusion control and as a result the more reactive intermediate appeared to react slower with the faster substrate. General relationships between reactivity and selectivity in chemical reaction ... more details

A nucleophile is a chemical species species that donates an electron pair to an electrophile to form a chemical bond in a Chemical reaction reaction . All molecule s or ion s with a free pair of electrons or at least one pi bond can act as nucleophiles. Because nucleophiles donate electrons, they are by definition Lewis base s. Nucleophilic describes the affinity of a nucleophile to the nuclei. Nucleophilicity , sometimes referred to as nucleophile strength , refers to a substance s nucleophilic character and is often used to compare the affinity of atoms. Neutral nucleophilic reactions with solvents such as alcohol s and water are named solvolysis . Nucleophiles may take part in nucleophilic substitution , whereby a nucleophile becomes attracted to a full or partial positive charge. History The terms nucleophile and electrophile were introduced by Christopher Kelk Ingold in 1929, ref Ingold, C. K. Recl. TraV. Chim. Pays Bas 1929 ref replacing the terms cationoid and anionoid proposed earlier by A. J. Lapworth in 1925. ref Lapworth, A. Nature journal Nature 1925 , 115, 625 ref The word nucleophile is derived from atomic nucleus nucleus and the Greek word phil , philos for love. Properties In general, in a row across the periodic table, the more basic the ion the higher the pK sub a sub of the conjugate acid the more reactive it is as a nucleophile. In a given group, polarizability is more important in the determination of the nucleophilicity The easier it is to distort the electron cloud around an atom or molecule the more readily it will react e.g., the iodide ion I sup sup is more nucleophilic than the fluoride ion F sup sup . Nucleophilicity scales Many schemes attempting to quantify relative nucleophilic strength have been devised. The following empirical data have been obtained by measuring reaction rate s for a large number of reactions involving a large number of nucleophiles and electrophiles. Nucleophiles displaying the so called alpha effect are usual ... more details
