Backside Attack Edit Meaning

1.

Proper: A chemistry term used to describe the transfer of electrons and subsequent bonding of a neucleophile to the back face of a molecule. The back side described is the chiral center, with subsistents in a tetrahedral formation facing away from the nucleophile. Once the backside attack is complete, the stereochemistry of the molecule is inverted.

chem eng slang: A difficult academic situation. It is often used to describe the difficulty of an assignment or a test. Synonymous with ass rape.

"Oh shit, that exam was a total backside attack!"

See back-side attack, bsa, ass rape, chemistry

2.

1) The SN2 mechanism in which the nucleophile attacks the alpha carbon from a direction directly opposite to the C-LG bond. Results in inversion of stereochemical configuration.

2) When attacking a loved one from the back side

1) Wow that strong nucleophile caused one hell of a backside attack.

2) John: dude i went for the back side attack last night

Joe: Howd it go

John: Lets not go there.....

See back, side, attack, backside, orgo
