Nucleophile vs Electrophile
Electrophile and Nucleophile are studies in general organic chemistry (GOC). Electrophile or Nucleophile is basically any chemical species that can accept or donate electrons to form a new chemical bond. We …

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 …
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 …
