grignard reactions are classified as | nucleophilic addition (+ reduction) |
do sterics matter for grignard reactions? | not really |
E2 requires | antiperiplanar conformation |
in cyclic molecules both SN2 and E2 require | axial leaving group |
what reactions can't occur in polar aprotic / acetone | SN1 and E1 |
what's the fastest type of reaction | acid/base |
difference between nucleophilicity and basicity | nucleophilicity is associated with kinetics while basicity is associated with thermodynamics |
rate determining step in SN1 / E1 | carbocation formation |
second step in SN1 / E1 | product determining step |
how to get E1 favored more? | increase temperature |
SN1 reactions occur with | racemization |
what do SN2 reactions do to the stereochemistry | invert it |
which type of solvent reverses the order of halogen nucleophiles (F- better than I-, etc.) | polar protic |
SN2 transition state geometry | pentavalent |
SN1 transition state geometry | planar |
