Question

What are the types of organic reactions?

Answer 1

Organic reactions:

• The reactions that involve organic compounds are known as Organic reactions.
• Organic reactions are categorized into many categories.

1. Substitution reaction:

• It is the type of reaction in which one atom/group of atoms is substituted by another atom/group of atoms.
• An example of Nucleophilic substitution is shown below:

2. Elimination reaction:

• The reaction that involves the elimination/removal of adjacent atoms is known as the Elimination reaction.
• An example of an Elimination reaction from Alkyl halide to Alkene is shown below.

3. Addition reaction:

• It is a type of reaction in which more than one molecules combine to form a new larger product.
• An example of an addition reaction is shown below:

4. Rearrangement reaction:

• It is the type of reaction in which the molecule is rearranged to give a structural isomer of the original molecule.
• The general rearrangement of Beckmann Rearrangement is shown below:
