When organic chemistry students attend class, they learn about many theoretical mechanisms via which chemical reaction are thought to occur. Why do chemists believe that these mechanisms are accurate models for chemical reactions?
We have covered nucleophilic substitution reactions in class. These are extremely important reactions both for synthesis in lab and in biological systems. This lab gives you a chance to carry out a nucleophilic substitution reaction, and a chance to experience how scientists determine the mechanism which governs a reaction. When organic chemistry students attend class,…
