Substitution and Elimination Reactions
Choose a topic, then a question set.
Identification
Classify the alkyl halide, then use the reagents and conditions to identify the reaction pathway.
Alkyl Halide · Reaction TypeSubstitution Reactions
Compare SN2 and SN1 mechanisms, including stereochemistry, carbocations and rearrangements.
SN2 · SN1Elimination Reactions
Practise E2 and E1 mechanisms, alkene stability, product selectivity and anti-periplanar alignment.
E2 · E1 · Stability · Zaitsev or Hofmann · ReorientationPredict the Reaction and Products
Bring substitution and elimination together: identify the pathway and draw the major organic product.
