Study Notes

Chapter 9: The SN1 Reaction

Alkyl halides undergo solvolysis reactions to form carbocations.
The SN1 reaction occurs in two steps with the formation of a carbocation intermediate.
Carbocation stability influences the rate of SN1 reactions.

Chapter 11: Reactions with Organometallic Reagents

Organocuprates are used for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds.
Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are widely utilized in organic synthesis, allowing for the construction of complex molecules.
Alkene metathesis involves the breaking and reforming of carbon-carbon double bonds.

Chapter 12: Radicals

Alkanes are generally unreactive due to the strong C–H bonds.
The chlorination and bromination of alkanes proceed through a radical mechanism.
Radical stability is influenced by the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbon with the unpaired electron.
The distribution of products in radical reactions is determined by probability and reactivity.
The reactivity–selectivity principle states that more reactive radicals are less selective in their reactions.
The formation of explosive peroxides can occur during the storage of ethers, especially in the presence of light and oxygen.
Radicals can add to alkenes, leading to the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds.
