Document Summary

Lecture 11: thermodynamics and kinetics of organic reactions. This builds on the thermodynamic and kinetics foundations previously covered, and all the concepts covered here apply to all organic reactions. As an introduction, we"ll focus mainly on reactions that involve carbon-carbon double bonds. They involve an electron-rich double bond which reacts with positive dipole species. In the double bond, nucleophile is a chemical species that donates an electron pair to the dipole-positive species, alled an electrophile, to form a chemical reaction. Examples of common nucleophiles include f - , cl - , br - , i - , ho - , ro - (example: ch 3 o - ), rs - (ex: ch 3 s - ), scn - , cn - , r - (ex: ch 3 ), ar - (ex: Examples of common electrophiles: h 3 o + , r + (ch 3 . Cl, br, i, ro, alcl 3 , bh 3 , alkyl halides, carbonyls.
