Organic Chemistry Ii (Reactions & Mechanisms)

This section explores various organic reactions, focusing on addition, substitution, and elimination reactions essential to organic chemistry.

Addition Reactions

Addition reactions involve the transformation of unsaturated compounds such as alkenes and alkynes by adding atoms or groups across double or triple bonds.

Addition Reactions Of Alkenes

Addition reactions are transformations where unsaturated molecules react with other atoms or groups, converting them into more saturated compounds, specifically focusing on alkenes and their key reactions.

Addition Reactions Of Alkynes

This section discusses the addition reactions of alkynes, focusing on how alkynes undergo reactions with various reagents to yield different products.

Substitution Reactions

Substitution reactions involve the replacement of one atom or group in a molecule with another, primarily occurring in saturated compounds and specific functional groups.

Substitution Reactions Of Alkanes (Free Radical Substitution)

Alkanes undergo substitution reactions with halogens under specific conditions, leading to the formation of haloalkanes through a free radical chain mechanism.

Substitution Reactions Of Haloalkanes (Nucleophilic Substitution)

This section covers the nucleophilic substitution reactions of haloalkanes, exploring the mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), conditions required, and the impact of the structure of haloalkanes on the reaction outcomes.

Substitution Reactions Of Alcohols

Substitution reactions of alcohols involve replacing the hydroxyl group (-OH) with halogens to form haloalkanes.

Elimination Reactions

Elimination reactions involve the removal of atoms or groups from adjacent carbon atoms, resulting in the formation of a new pi bond and typically leading to an unsaturated compound.
