SN1, SN2, E1, E2, nucleophiles, nucleophilicity, basicity
SN1 vs SN2
In this tutorial, Sal analyzes the differences between SN1 and SN2 reactions.
Nucleophilicity and basicity
In this tutorial, Sal discusses the difference between nucleophilicity and basicity.
Elimination reactions
In this tutorial, Sal explains the difference between an E1 and an E2 elimination reaction.
SN1/SN2/E1/E2
In this tutorial, Sal compares the differences between E2, E1, SN2, and SN1 reactions.
SN1 and SN2
In this tutorial, Jay covers the definitions of nucleophile/electrophile, The Schwartz Rules (may the Schwartz be with you!), and the differences between SN1 and SN2 reactions.
E1 and E2 reactions
In this tutorial, Jay covers the E1 elimination mechanism, carbocation rearrangements, and the details of the E2 elimination reaction.
- E1 Elimination: mechanism
- E1 Elimination: regioselectivity and stereoselectivity
- carbocations and rearrangements
- E1 Elimination: carbocation rearrangements
- E2 Elimination: mechanism
- E2 Elimination: regioselectivity
- E2 Elimination: stereoselectivity
- E2 Elimination: stereospecificity
- E2 Elimination: substituted cyclohexanes
SN1/SN2/E1/E2
In this tutorial, Jay discusses the strength of a nucleophile and the differences between SN1, SN2, E1, and E2 reactions.
