symbol: $S_{\rm{RN}}1$

Nucleophilic substitution in a substrate through processes that involve electron transfer steps. The reaction occurs through chain steps. The most extensively used method of initiation is photoinitiation.
Note: Many types of compounds, i.e., aliphatic and aromatic species, such as perfluoroalkyl-, cycloalkyl-, neopentyl-, bridgehead-, and alkylmercury halides, as well as carbanions derived from various compounds, are substrates in \(S_{\rm{RN}}1\) reactions.
