Reaction Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Organic reactions often proceed via detailed mechanisms illustrating electron flow using curved arrows. Common steps include nucleophilic attack, electrophilic addition, elimination, and rearrangements. Understanding mechanisms allows prediction of products, control of stereochemistry, and rational design of new reactions. Mechanistic insight is a cornerstone of advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical development.
