  2. Molecularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecularity

    After the initial bimolecular collision of A and B an energetically excited reaction intermediate is formed, then, it collides with a M body, in a second bimolecular reaction, transferring the excess energy to it. [7] The reaction can be explained as two consecutive reactions:

  3. SN2 reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN2_reaction

    The bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N 2) is a type of reaction mechanism that is common in organic chemistry. In the S N 2 reaction, a strong nucleophile forms a new bond to an sp 3-hybridised carbon atom via a backside attack, all while the leaving group detaches from the reaction center in a concerted (i.e. simultaneous) fashion.

  4. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    The rate for a bimolecular gas-phase reaction, A + B → product, predicted by collision theory is [6] = = ⁡ ()where: k is the rate constant in units of (number of molecules) −1 ⋅s −1 ⋅m 3.

  5. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    Consider the following reaction for example: CO + NO 2 → CO 2 + NO. In this case, experiments have determined that this reaction takes place according to the rate law = []. This form suggests that the rate-determining step is a reaction between two molecules of NO 2. A possible mechanism for the overall reaction that explains the rate law is:

  6. Williamson ether synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamson_ether_synthesis

    This reaction was developed by Alexander Williamson in 1850. [2] Typically it involves the reaction of an alkoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide via an S N 2 reaction. This reaction is important in the history of organic chemistry because it helped prove the structure of ethers. The general reaction mechanism is as follows: [3]

  7. E1cB-elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E1cB-elimination_reaction

    The E1cB mechanism is just one of three types of elimination reaction. The other two elimination reactions are E1 and E2 reactions. Although the mechanisms are similar, they vary in the timing of the deprotonation of the α-carbon and the loss of the leaving group. E1 stands for unimolecular elimination, and E2 stands for bimolecular elimination.

  8. Elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction

    Elimination reaction of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene with sulfuric acid and heat [1] An elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism. [2] The one-step mechanism is known as the E2 reaction, and the two-step mechanism is known as the E1 reaction ...

  9. Nucleophilic substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophilic_substitution

    The two main mechanisms were the S N 1 reaction and the S N 2 reaction, where S stands for substitution, N stands for nucleophilic, and the number represents the kinetic order of the reaction. [ 4 ] In the S N 2 reaction, the addition of the nucleophile and the elimination of leaving group take place simultaneously (i.e. a concerted reaction ).
