This two lesson series covers substitution reactions and elimination reactions. Four fundamental types of reactions are addressed in this unit: SN1, SN2, E1 and E2. competition among these reactions is stressed throughout, and the manner in which a reaction may be influenced to proceed by one mechanism as opposed to another of the mechanisms is introduced.
A series of important terms are introduced such as leaving group, nucleophile, protic and aprotic solvents, substrates, Walden inversion, and stereospecificity to name just a few. In each of the four types of reactions, the topics of how the reaction occurs, examples, the nucleophile, solvent effects, steric effects, the substrate, and stereochemistry are addressed. From the study of the individual mechanisms and influencing factors, comparisons are made SN1 vs SN2, E1 vs E2, and finally competition among the four mechanisms.
The goal of this unit is to help the student make reasoned choices among reaction possibilities and learn to predict within reason the outcome of a given reaction based on the characteristics of the participants. Organic chemistry can become an ordeal of memorization unless a thorough study of these competing reactions is undertaken.
This series is excerpted from a standard college organic chemistry course. The full course, Organic Chemistry, is available from MindBites or in DVD format from the Chemistry Professor

-
Organic Chemistry: Substitution vs Elimination 1
Organic Chemistry: Substitution vs. Elimination Reactions 1 addresses commonly used terms, SN2 and SN1 reactions, E1 and E2 reactions, and competition among these types of reactions. Other related reactions are also studied.
This lesson is part of a full course, Organic Chemistry that is available through the series listed above or in DVD format from the Chemistry Professor’s website at http://chemistryprofessor.com/organic_chemistry.htm. The full course addresses those topics recommended for inclusion in a college-level organic chemistry course. The essential topics addressed are: characteristics of organic molecules, alkanes, chemical reactions, alkyl halides, stereochemistry, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, substitution reactions, elimination reactions, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, HNMR or Proton NMR, CNMR or C-13 NMR, ethers, epoxides, thioethers, conjugated systems, aromatics, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amenes, carboxylic acids, acid derivatives, carbanions, carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, and lipids. These topics are all addressed at the college level, with the understanding that students have a solid college-level chemistry background. Those students without this background should consider Professor Etheridge’s college-level Chemistry I and Chemistry II lessons lessons or full course prior to undertaking this organic chemistry course. The course is designed for college students who may need further assistance with their organic chemistry courses and for chemistry teachers and professors who could benefit from refresher lessons or are looking to alter their approach to a subject.
