Substitution Reaction
Substitution Reaction
A reaction where one atom or group is replaced by another.
Nucleophilic Substitution
Nucleophilic Substitution
A reaction where a nucleophile (electron-rich species) attacks an electrophile (electron-deficient species), replacing a leaving group.
Sâ‚™2 Reaction
Sâ‚™2 Reaction
A reaction where a nucleophile attacks a carbon atom with a leaving group, proceeding in one step. The reaction is favored by primary and secondary haloalkanes.

Study Notes
Types of Organic Reactions
-
Substitution Reactions: One atom or group is replaced by another.
- Nucleophilic Substitution: Nucleophile replaces a leaving group.
- SN1 (Unimolecular): Single step, rate depends on substrate concentration.
- SN2 (Bimolecular): Concerted reaction, rate depends on substrate and nucleophile concentrations.
- Electrophilic Substitution: Electrophile replaces a group, common in aromatic compounds.
- Nucleophilic Substitution: Nucleophile replaces a leaving group.
-
Addition Reactions: Addition of atoms/groups to a multiple bond (double or triple).
- Electrophilic Addition: Electrophiles added, to alkenes/alkynes.
- Nucleophilic Addition: Nucleophiles added to compounds like carbonyls.
- Free Radical Addition: Free radicals add.
-
Elimination Reactions: Atoms or groups removed, forming a multiple bond.
-
Rearrangement Reactions: Internal atom reorganization into isomers.
-
Redox Reactions: Electrons transferred causing oxidation (increase in oxidation state) or reduction (decrease).
-
Condensation Reactions: Two molecules combine to make a larger molecule, eliminating a small molecule like water.
-
Pericyclic Reactions: Reactions proceed via a cyclic transition state. (e.g., Diels-Alder reaction).
-
Radical Reactions: Reactions involving free radicals (unpaired electrons). (e.g., halogenation of alkanes).
-
Polymerization Reactions: Monomers combine to form polymers.
-
Addition Polymerization: No small molecules are produced.
-
Condensation Polymerization: Small molecules (like water) are produced.
-
Hydrolysis Reactions: Breakdown of a molecule by reacting with water.
-
Combustion Reactions: Organic compounds react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy.
-
Isomerization Reactions: Molecules transform to structural isomers (same formula, different structure)
-
Carbenoid Reactions: Involve carbene or carbene-like intermediates.
