3 Major Rxn Types
|
Addition
Elimination Substitution |
|
regioselective
|
describes the addition of hydrogen halides
One of the two possible orientations of an addition is preferable |
|
oxymercuration
|
involves electrophilic attack on a double bond by +Hg(OAc)
|
|
demercuration
|
Rxn that follows oxymercuration in order to remove mercury atom.
Mercury is replaced by H from NaBH4. |
|
alkoxymercuration
|
converts alkenes to ethers
|
|
heterogeneous catalysis
|
when the (solid) catalyst is in a different phase from the reactant solution
|
|
homogeneous catalysis
|
involves reactants and catalyst in the same phase (as in acid-catalyzed dehydration of an alcohol)
