Question
Answer
all reactions of benzene are   substitution reactions (to keep aromatic ring structure)  
🗑
electron donating groups bond at   50% ortho, 50% meta  
🗑
electron withdrawing groups bond at   81% meta  
🗑
rules for determining aromaticity   cyclic, p-orbital, every p-orbital must overlap, pi cloud must contain an odd pair of electrons (4n+2 total electrons)  
🗑
2 most important aromaticity rules   cyclic, 4n+2 total electrons  
🗑
when do molecules become non-superimposable mirror images?   >2 substitutions  
🗑
clockwise stereochemistry   R  
🗑
counterclockwise stereochemistry   S  
🗑
chiral   not identical to its mirror images  
🗑
achiral   has an internal plane of symmetry  
🗑
clockwise (optically)   dextrorotatory (+)  
🗑
counterclockwise (optically)   levorotatory (-)  
🗑
diastereomer   non-superimposable, non-mirror images  
🗑
do diastereomers have the same physical properties?   no  
🗑
do enantiomers have the same physical properties?   yes  
🗑
# of stereoisomers   2^(chirality centers)  
🗑
meso compounds   mirror image, rotate 180 is the same as original *have chirality centers, but achiral because of the mirror plane  
🗑
organohalide elimination trend   more stable with tertiary compounds  
🗑
rate law SN2 reactions   k[Nu][R3C-X]  
🗑
SN2 reactions   occur in a single step without an intermediate  
🗑
SN2 rates   fastest with fewest substitutions; less electronegative anions=better  
🗑
SN2 leaving groups   gases are best; stable anions of strong acids 2nd  
🗑
what does SN2 stand for?   substitution nucleophilic bimolecular  
🗑
what does SN1 stand for?   substitution nucleophilic unimolecular  
🗑
rate law SN1 reactions   k[starting material]  
🗑
SN1 only occurs under ____ conditions   neutral or acidic  
🗑
RDS SN1   carbocation formation  
🗑
are SN1 stereoselective?   nope  
🗑
SN1 leaving groups   similar to SN2; less electronegative anions; H2O neutral, OH acidic  
🗑
rate law E2   k[reactant][base]  
🗑
E2 requires   an antiperiplanar relationship between a H and LG  
🗑
acyclic E2   more highly substituted alkene is formed (same as cyclic if available)  
🗑
E1 rate law   k[starting material]  
🗑
if substrates that work well with both E1 and SN1 are combined...   a mixture of SN1 and E1 products will form  
🗑
primary alkyl halides will use what mechanism(s)?   SN2 if good nucleophile present E2 if no good nucleophile (base like (CH3)3O)  
🗑
secondary alkyl halides will use what mechanism(s)?   SN2 if good nucleophile present- weakly basic E2 if no good nucleophile (base like (CH3)3O)  
🗑
tertiary alkyl halides will use what mechanism(s)?   SN1 or E1 under acidic or neutral E2 if basic  
🗑
SN2 needs an available ___ to occur   sigma *  
🗑
SN1 won't occur if _____ is happening on the molecule   ring strain  
🗑
E2 likes what base?   t-butoxide  
🗑
E1 makes a   double bond  
🗑
