Organic Chemistry Workbook Series: Volume 6: Simple Substitution Reactions

This workbook covers the basics of simple substitution reactions in organic chemistry. If you can’t tell your nucleophiles from your leaving groups, or whether the alkyl halide you’re looking at will fragment in the reaction or wait until it gets shoved by its reactant, this workbook may be the tool that you need. This workbook is compatible with any textbook and was prepared by two award-winning instructors at the University of British Columbia for its freshman-level chemistry course. The topics covered include bimolecular reactions, unimolecular reactions, and the effects of structure on the relative success of each process.
