Accepted Answer

Organic reactions involve the transformation of organic compounds into new compounds through chemical reactions.

Substitution reactions: involve the replacement of one functional group with another. Example: SN1 and SN2 reactions.
Addition reactions: involve the addition of one or more atoms or groups to a molecule. Example: addition of HBr to an alkene.
Elimination reactions: involve the removal of atoms or groups from a molecule to form a double bond. Example: dehydration of an alcohol.
Oxidation-reduction reactions: involve the transfer of electrons between molecules. Example: oxidation of an alcohol to a ketone.
Condensation reactions: involve the joining of two molecules with the loss of a small molecule. Example: formation of an ester from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
