Key Concepts

Addition Reactions

Addition reactions are chemical processes in which two or more molecules combine to form a larger molecule, typically by the breaking of a double or triple bond and the subsequent addition of atoms or groups to the unsaturated substrate. This type of reaction is common in organic chemistry, particularly with alkenes and alkynes, and is fundamental to polymerization and many synthesis procedures.

Elimination Reactions

Elimination reactions involve the removal of atoms or groups from a molecule, leading to the formation of a double or triple bond. In these reactions, the loss of small molecules such as water or hydrogen halides occurs, making them essential for converting saturated molecules into unsaturated ones and for generating reactive intermediates in various organic transformations.

Substitution Reactions

Substitution reactions occur when an atom or group in a molecule is replaced by another atom or group. These reactions are prevalent in organic chemistry, particularly in the chemistry of halides and other functional groups, and can proceed via different mechanisms, such as nucleophilic or electrophilic substitution, reflecting the diverse reactivity of organic compounds.

Rearrangement Reactions

Rearrangement reactions are processes in which the structure of a molecule is reorganized to form an isomer, typically involving the migration of a substituent or group within the molecule. Such reactions maintain the molecular formula but change the connectivity of atoms, often resulting in greater stability or different reactivity profiles, which is important in both synthetic and mechanistic organic chemistry.
