11. Organic reactions are frequently interpreted in terms of the interaction of the HOMO of one
reactant (the Lewis base) with the LUMO of another (the Lewis acid). Use MO theory to explain
the following, identifying the relevant HOMOS and LUMOS of the reactants in each case:
SN; reaction at a chiral center results in inversion of the stereocenter, while SN, reaction
will result in a scrambling of the stereochemistry:
