Mechanisms Flashcards
This is giving you examples of the different curly arrow mechanisms
Nucleophilic Substitution (:CN- or -OH)
Nucleophilic addition
can be done with H- from NaBH4 or -CN from KCN
Nucleophilic addition-elimination
Can take place with acyl chlorides/acid anhydrides and any of water, alcohols, ammonia or amines
Elimination (halogenoalkanes)
can generate a variety of products depending on which H is removed (from which side of the halogen)
Electrophilic substitution
Two different ways to form carbocation intermediate needed for the reaction
Electrophilic addition
can take place with Br2/HBr or H2SO4
Can generate a variety of products
Free radical substitution
Elimination (alcohols)
can generate a variety of products depending on which H is removed (from which side of the alcohols)
Nucleophilic Substitution (ammonia)
If NH3 in excess then makes primary amine, if halogenoalkane in excess then it makes a quaternary ammonium salt
