Write a 15-20 page paper which includes the following reactions SN2, SN1, E2, E1.
Include the following:
I. Mechanisms of SN2, SN1, E2, E1 and define each.
II. Completely describe the factors that affect the SN2 reaction.
Include:
A. Leaving Group
B. Nucleophile
C. Solvent
D. Steric Effects
E. Basicity of leaving groups
F. Rate equation
G. Intermediates
H. Stereochemistry
III. Do the above for SN1. Include rearrangements
IV. Discuss competition between SN2 and SN1. Discuss solvent effects
V. Discuss E2 and E1 reactions and things that affect them [Like II above]
VI. Discuss the competition between E2 and E1
VII. Discuss the competition between substitution and elimination reactions SN2/E2 and SN1/E1
Make the discussions flow, include tables if needed. The purpose of this is to see how well you understand all the factors associated with substitution and elimination reactions.
