Study Notes
Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
- SN2 (Substitution Nucleophilic Second Order or Bimolecular): a type of nucleophilic substitution reaction that occurs in a single step, with a transition state involving both the nucleophile and the leaving group.
- SN1 (Substitution Nucleophilic First Order or Unimolecular): a type of nucleophilic substitution reaction that occurs in two steps, with the formation of a carbocation intermediate.
Elimination Reactions
- E2 (Elimination Second Order or Bimolecular): a type of elimination reaction that occurs in a single step, with a transition state involving both the base and the leaving group.
- E1 (Elimination First Order or Unimolecular): a type of elimination reaction that occurs in two steps, with the formation of a carbocation intermediate.
