  2. Zaytsev's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaytsev's_rule

    More generally, Zaytsev's rule predicts that in an elimination reaction the most substituted product will be the most stable, and therefore the most favored. The rule makes no generalizations about the stereochemistry of the newly formed alkene, but only the regiochemistry of the elimination reaction. While effective at predicting the favored ...

  3. Ei mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ei_mechanism

    The mechanism for this reaction is analogous to the sulfoxide elimination, which is a thermal syn elimination through a 5-membered cyclic transition state. Selenoxides are preferred for this type of transformation over sulfoxides due to their increased reactivity toward β-elimination, in some cases allowing the elimination to take place at ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Addition–elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition–elimination...

    This gives an overall effect of substitution, and is the mechanism of the common nucleophilic acyl substitution often seen with esters, amides, and related structures. [ 1 ] Another common type of addition–elimination is the reversible reaction of amines with carbonyls to form imines in the alkylimino-de-oxo-bisubstitution reaction, and the ...

  6. Meisenheimer complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meisenheimer_complex

    A Meisenheimer complex or Jackson–Meisenheimer complex in organic chemistry is a 1:1 reaction adduct between an arene carrying electron withdrawing groups and a nucleophile. These complexes are found as reactive intermediates in nucleophilic aromatic substitution but stable and isolated Meisenheimer salts are also known.

  7. Elimination reaction of free radicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction_of...

    Radicals can undergo a disproportionation reaction through a radical elimination mechanism (See Fig. 1). Here a radical abstracts a hydrogen atom from another same radical to form two non-radical species: an alkane and an alkene. Radicals can also undergo an elimination reaction to generate a new radical as the leaving group.

  8. Neighbouring group participation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbouring_group...

    In this type of substitution reaction, one group of the substrate participates initially in the reaction and thereby affects the reaction. A classic example of NGP is the reaction of a sulfur or nitrogen mustard with a nucleophile, the rate of reaction is much higher for the sulfur mustard and a nucleophile than it would be for a primary or secondary alkyl chloride without a heteroatom.

  9. Lyase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyase

    In biochemistry, a lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking (an elimination reaction) of various chemical bonds by means other than hydrolysis (a substitution reaction) and oxidation, often forming a new double bond or a new ring structure. [1] The reverse reaction is also possible (called a Michael reaction). For example, an enzyme that ...
