SN1 SN2 E1 E2 Organic Chemistry Study Guide Cheat Sheet

February 5, 2020 By Leah4sci 17 Comments

sub-elim-cheat-sheet

Substitution and Elimination reactions are potentially the most difficult topic at the Organic Chemistry 1 Level. Unlike other reactions which follow similar patterns, with the SN1/SN2/E1/E2 reactions you are faced with different circumstances for similar molecules and asked to choose a reaction pathway. The average cheat sheet gives you a ‘memorize without logic’ roadmap, which […]
