Explain the mechanism of organic reactions

Question

Accepted Answer

Organic reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds in organic compounds.

Organic reactions can be classified into different types such as addition, elimination, substitution, and rearrangement reactions.
The mechanism of a reaction describes the step-by-step process by which the reactants are transformed into the products.
The mechanism of a reaction can be determined by experimental evidence and theoretical calculations.
For example, the mechanism of the SN1 reaction involves a two-step process where the leaving group leaves first to form a carbocation intermediate, which then reacts with the nucleophile.
Understanding the mechanism of organic reactions is important for predicting the outcome of reactions and designing new reactions.
