The four simple reactions we discussed in this lesson are the basis for most reactions that you'll see in organic chemistry. The four main types of reactions in organic chemistry include substitution 1 (Sn1), substitution 2 (Sn2), elimination 1 (E1), and elimination 2 (E2). To figure ou...
The DOFs of selected MOs as a function of the reaction coordinate were computed for a panel of model reaction mechanisms: [2+4] (Diels鈥揂lder) cycloaddition, [2+2] cycloaddition, second-order nucleophilic substitution (S N 2), nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl group, and [1,2] ...
and nitrides. even amides are known to exhibit nucleophilic qualities. recommended videos sn1 & sn2 mechanism apart from these specific species listed above, it can be observed that as the ions grow more basic progressing through a row in the periodic table, the nucleophilic reactivity of these ...
Is hydration SN1 or Sn2? Acid catalyzed hydration of alkenes is not a substitution reaction; instead, it is an addition reaction. This means that is it not Sn1 or Sn2. Hydration is adding a water molecule; it is not substituting the water molecule for another molecule on the compound. Wh...
