@Abcd you need to memorize the mechanisms for the reactions, there's only a few of them. As and when you solve past year questions, you'll come to know of them.
I cannot give you a list, because I don't have one
I was told by my teacher that the following reaction is $\ce{S_Ni}$:
Moist $\ce{Ag2O}$ is basically $\ce{AgOH}$, what role does it play in this reaction's mechanism? I think this is what happens but I am not sure therefore I'd like to get it verified:
AgOH attacks $\ce{Cl-}$ and during this...
This is a follow up question of this question on the most basic site of adenine on the site. Since, the data quoted by @DavePhD suggests that 7 is the most basic site, is it possible that hydrogen bonding is the reason? Hydorogen bonds can exist with nitrogens 1 and 3 but not with 7.
Among the following, the most stable isomer is?
I am aware of the fact that equatorial substituents are more stable than axial substituents but couldn't proceed to apply it here. However the answer key gives the answer as d) in which both substituents are in axial position.
Contributing through the useful information I found in March's Advanced Organic Chemistry:
Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule with bond angle of $\ce{60^\circ}$. The normal tetrahedral bond angle is $\pu{109^\circ{28}'}$, so we'd expect a ring strain of $49.28^\circ$!
For a cyclopropan...
The order of nucleophilicity for halide family in DMF is:
$\ce{Cl- >Br- > I-}$
and I understand that the reason for this must be that DMF, being polar aprotic solvent is unable to solvate the halide ions.
I was told by my teacher that this is true only for DMF, while in other aprotic pol...
