Study Notes
Advantages of a Mechanistic Approach in Organic Chemistry
- Mechanistic approach offers a way to explain and interrelate existing facts in organic chemistry.
- It provides a means to forecast the outcome of changing conditions in known reactions.
- It can also predict the products that may be expected from new reactions.
- The guiding principles of a mechanistic approach are relatively few in number.
- These principles can be used to explain and interrelate existing facts in organic chemistry.
- The approach can be used to forecast the outcome of changing conditions in known reactions.
- It can also predict the products of new reactions.
- The focus of this chapter is to outline some of these guiding principles and demonstrate how they work.
- The compounds of carbon are the main focus in this chapter.
- Carbon atoms can form bonds with other atoms, particularly other carbon atoms.
- The chapter will discuss the way carbon atoms form bonds with other atoms.
- The mechanistic approach in organic chemistry allows for a systematic understanding of reactions and their outcomes.
