Substitution and elimination reactions

This chapter explores substitution and elimination reactions. It notes nucleophilic substitution by referencing the reaction between bromomethane and hydroxide alongside the carbon–bromine bond. The chapter notes the stabilization of positive charges, adjacent lone pairs, and adjacent bonds–conjugation. Additionally, it examines the elimination reactions by referencing the reaction between t–butyl bromide and hydroxide. It also includes the addition reactions–elimination in reverse while noting Markovnikov’s Rule. It demonstrates the equation behind the rate of elimination. Moreover, the chapter uses diagrams and equations to clarify the process of substitution and elimination.
