  3. Energy profile (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_profile_(chemistry)

    S N 1: Figure 10 shows the rate determining step for an S N 1 mechanism, formation of the carbocation intermediate, and the corresponding reaction coordinate diagram. For an S N 1 mechanism the transition state structure shows a partial charge density relative to the neutral ground state structure. Therefore, increasing the solvent polarity ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_O'Ferrall–Jencks_plot

    Figure 1. A generic More O’Ferrall–Jencks plot. R, I(1), I(2) and P stand for reactant(s), intermediate(s) 1, intermediate(s) 2 and product(s) respectively. The thick arrows represent movement of the transition state (black dot) parallel and perpendicular to the diagonal (red line). The thin arrow is the vector sum of the thick arrows.

  5. Reactive intermediate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_intermediate

    Most chemical reactions take more than one elementary step to complete, and a reactive intermediate is a high-energy, hence unstable, product that exists only in one of the intermediate steps. The series of steps together make a reaction mechanism .

  6. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical reaction occurs. [1] A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction. The detailed steps of a reaction are not observable in most cases.

  7. Reductive amination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductive_amination

    The reaction between the carbonyl and amine are in equilibrium, favouring the carbonyl unless water is removed from the system. reduction-sensitive intermediates may form in the reaction which can affect chemoselectivity. The amine substrate, imine intermediate, or amine product might deactivate the catalyst. Acyclic imines have E/Z isomers.

  8. Arrow pushing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_pushing

    Arrow pushing or electron pushing is a technique used to describe the progression of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. [1] It was first developed by Sir Robert Robinson.In using arrow pushing, "curved arrows" or "curly arrows" are drawn on the structural formulae of reactants in a chemical equation to show the reaction mechanism.

  9. Dissociative substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_substitution

    In chemistry, dissociative substitution describes a reaction pathway by which compounds interchange ligands. The term is typically applied to coordination and organometallic complexes, but resembles the S N 1 mechanism in organic chemistry. This pathway can be well described by the cis effect, or the labilization of CO ligands in the cis position.
