Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Alcohols: SN2 and SN1 Mechanisms
The acid-catalyzed reactions of alcohols involve SN2 and SN1 mechanisms where protonated alcohols react with RX. In the SN2 mechanism, a nucleophile attacks a protonated 1o alcohol, leading to inversion. On the other hand, in the SN1 mechanism, a carbocation intermediate is formed, and a nucleophile

Understanding Allylic Systems and Reactions
Conjugation in alkadienes and allylic systems involves overlapping p-orbitals, with the allyl group featuring resonance-stabilized allylic carbocations. Allylic halides exhibit enhanced reactivity in SN1 and SN2 reactions, and allylic free radicals demonstrate distinct electron density patterns. Add
