Part II: Reaction Mechanisms

Master the fundamental reaction types: nucleophilic substitution, elimination, addition, and radical reactions with full mechanistic detail.

Nucleophilic Substitution (SN1/SN2)

Mechanisms, stereochemistry, solvent effects

Elimination Reactions (E1/E2)

Zaitsev vs Hofmann, anti-periplanar geometry

Addition Reactions

Electrophilic addition to alkenes and alkynes

Radical Reactions

Chain mechanisms, selectivity, polymerization
