    The document summarizes several organic reaction mechanisms in 3 steps or less: 1. SN1 and SN2 substitution reactions are discussed, where SN1 involves formation of a carbocation intermediate and SN2 occurs in a single concerted step through nucleophilic attack. 2. Elimination reactions remove a proton and leaving group to form an alkene. Hydration of alkenes and dehydration of alcohols are also covered. 3. Other reactions included are ether formation through alcohol dehydration, esterification involving a carboxylic acid, and a reaction involving hydride shift of a tertiary carbocation.

    Organic Reaction mechanism

    1. Substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (SN1) (The rate of reaction depends upon the concentration of only one reactant) SN1 reactions are generally carried out in polar protic solvents. The reaction between tert-butyl bromide and hydroxide ion yields tert-butyl alcohol.

    Step ! formation of carbonium ion in polar solvents.

    Step

    The carbocation thus formed is then attac"ed by nucleophile.

    In case of alkyl halides, 3 alkyl halides undergo S N1 reaction !ery fast because of the high stability of 3 carbocations"

    #llylic and $en%ylic halides show high reactivity towards the SN1 reaction. The carbocation thus formed gets stabilised through resonance.

    n this( incoming nucleophile interacts with al"yl halide causing the carbon- halide bond to brea" while forming a new carbon-)& bond. These two processes ta"e place simultaneously in a single step and no intermediate is formed. *s the reaction progresses( the bond between the nucleophile and the carbon atom starts forming( the bond between carbon atom and leaving group wea"ens. *s this happens( the configuration of carbon atom gets inverted. This process is called as in!ersion of configuration. 'ertiary halides are the least reacti!e because bulky groups hinder the approaching nucleophiles"
