wr e eee, , “TYPES OF ORGANIC REACTIONS, , ganic reactions may be classified into four main types, , a) Substitution reactions, , (b) Addition reactions, , (0 Elimination reactions, , @ Rearrangements., , These are separately described as under., , ) Substitution reactions. A substitution reaction is one in which a part of one molecule is, , “ed by other atom or group without causing a change in the rest of the molecule Following, gre some examples of substitution reactions., , () CH, +Cl, —+>CH,CI + HCI, , Methane Methyl!, Me chloride, , (ii) CH,Br + KOH —— C,H,OH + KBr, , cl, , i) +c, —%, + HCl, , Benzene Chlorobenzene, , The substitution reactions may be brought about by free-radicals, nucleophilic or electrophilic, reagents. Thus, there are free radical substitution reactions, nucleophilic substitution reactions and, electrophilic substitution reactions., , _4b) Addition reactions. When two molecules of same or different substances combine together, giving rising to a new product, it is an addition reaction. Examples of addition reactions are, , CH, = CH, + Br, ——~ CH,BrCH,Br, , Ethane Ethylene dibromide, , CH,CHO +HCN——» CH,CH(OH)CN, Acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde cyanohydrin, Addition reactions could be brought about by free-radical, electrophilic or nucleophilic reagents., ae in the case of substitution, there are free radical, electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution, ions,, RAs Elimination reactions. These reactions involve the removal of atoms or groups from a, 7 iis to form a new compounds containing multiple bonds. Dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides, common example of this type reaction., , CH, — CH,CH,Cl + KOH “> CH,CH = CH, + KC]+H,0, , Eliminat; n—Propyl chloride Propene, *enomolecah reactions are of two types.
