Through the use of stereospecifically 1,2-dideuteriated ethylene dibromide, the mechanism of reaction has been shown to involve an odd number, i.e. three, of SN2 inversions.

The conjugation of the prototype dihaloalkane ethylene dibromide (EDB) with glutathione (GSH) yields S-(2-bromoethyl) GSH, which gives rise to S-[2-(N7-guanyl) ethyl] GSH as the major DNA adduct (greater than or equal to 95%).
All reaction steps have SN2 character.
