PAL Worksheet SN1, SN2, E1, E2 Summary Several mechanisms form the core reactions for understanding organic mechanisms. Among these, the most common are SN1, SN2, E1 and E2. You should have completed the substitution and elimination worksheets already. In this worksheet, you will determine which of the four is operating. Background: Using the substrate below and any nucleophile/base you desire, draw out an example of an SN1, SN2, E1, and E2 reaction. Take note of the differences in these reactions, and use this analysis to complete the reactions in the next question. Reactions: Give the structure of the major product(s) or the reagents necessary to complete each of the following reactions. If necessary, indicate the product stereochemistry. OH NaCN Mechanisms: Draw out a step-by-step reaction mechanism for the transformations shown below. Include all intermediates, charges, and electron-pushing arrows needed for the transformation.
