|
Definition
in transition state, the attacking base and the leaving group want to be as far apart as possible (anti positioning). this determines the stereochemistry
Saytzeff's rule applies: the more highly substituted alkenes are more stable than less substituted ones |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| depends on the number of substituents on the double bond; most stable is most substituted |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs between a conjugated diene and a dienophile, product always contain 1 more ring than was present in the reactants, stereospecific |
|
|
Term
| nucleophilic aromatic substitutions |
|
Definition
addition of a nucleophile and formation of a carbanion intermediate, followed by the loss of the halide ion
electron-withdrawing ortho- and para- substituents stabilize the carbanion intermediate more than meta- substituents
in the absence of electron-withdrawing substituents, this reaction is very rare and proceeds through a benzyne intermdiate |

Definition
in the presence of an alkane, the radical formed will break one of the C-H bonds, one electron remains on the alkane which becomes an alkyl radical and the other electron forms the bond inteh newly formed H-X molecule
the alkyl radical reacts with a halogen molecule to form the halogenated alkane |
