Notes taken on substitution and elimination reactions. Includes mechanisms, definitions, and reaction schemes for each type of reaction. Covers SN1, SN2, E1 and E2 reactions.

Part 2 of Chapter 7 of Organic Chemistry 1 at App State (CHE2201) taught by Dr. Moeller. This chapter is very long so it is split into two parts. The second part of this chapter covers elimination, Zaitsev's rule, hyperconjugation, regioselectivity, cis & trans alkenes, Newman projections, and rearrangements. Some images/definitions are not entirely my own; credit for any work that is not mine goes to its rightful owners.
