What is chemoselectivity?
preferential reaction of one functional group in the presence of other functional groups
True or False: The less oxidized the functional group, the more reactive it is in both nucleophile-electrophile and oxidation-reduction reactions
false
Why do SN1 reactions prefer bulkier carbons as the reactive sites?
carbocation can be most easily stabilized
What are the two reactive centers of a carbonyl-containing compound?
carbonyl carbon (electrophilic)
alpha hydrogen (acidic)
What is steric hindrance?
prevention of reactions at a particular location within a molecule due to the size of substituent groups
What is steric protection?
prevent formation of alternative products by masking a reactive LG with a sterically bulky group during synthesis
