Methyl carbon
only SN2
primary C, with (KOTBU)
E2 elimination, Hoffman’s rule
primary C, NaCL
SN2 reaction
If an SN2 reaction occurs, and the C is chiral what happens?
stereochemistry flips
secondary C, STRONG and LARGE base (KOTBu)
E2 reaction, Hoffman’s rule
Secondary C, strong small base (NaOH, NaOME, NaOET)
E2, zaitsev
secondary C, “neutral” base (H2O, ETOH), low temperature
SN1
if an SN1 reaction has chirla C it forms what
racemic mixtures
secondary C, “neutral” base (h2o, etoh), high temperature
E1, zaitsev
Secondary C, weak basic Nu (CI, Br, CH3COO, CN, N3)
sn2
tertiary C, Strong base (NaOME/NaOET)
e2 zaitsev
Tertiary C, Strong base (KOTBU)
e2 hoffman
Tertiary C, Neutral Base, low temperature
SN1
Tertiary C, neutral base, high temperature (MeOH/ETOH)
E1 reaction zaitsev
