Difference Between SN1 and SN2 Reactions
SN1 and SN2 reactions are two kinds of organic reactions. Specifically, they are “Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions”. We are going to discuss the terminology involved here and find out the difference …
Reaction Mechanisms
Zaitsev Rule
Zaitsev Rule is used to predict the regiochemistry of elimination reactions. Russian chemist Alexander Zaitsev studied a number of various elimination reactions at the University of Kazan and found a …
E2 Reaction
E2 Reaction is an elimination reaction in which only one step is involved in eliminating two substituents from a molecule though it has a transitions state as well. E2 which is …
E1 Reaction
E1 Reaction is an elimination reaction in which two-steps: ionization and deprotonation are involved in eliminating two substituents from a molecule. What is E1 Reaction? Unimolecular Elimination (E1) is a reaction that results …
SN2 Reaction
SN2 Reaction is a Nucleophilic Substitution reaction (A class of reactions wherein the electron-rich nucleophile attacks a positively charged electrophile to replace a leaving group) in which two components are …
SN1 Reaction
SN1 Reaction is a Nucleophilic Substitution reaction (A class of reactions wherein the electron-rich nucleophile attacks a positively charged electrophile to replace a leaving group) in which the rate-determining step …
