Examples of unimolecular in the following topics:
-
- Like nucleophilic substitution, it can occur via unimolecular or bimolecular mechanisms.
- A common example of elimination is the dehydration reaction, which occurs in a unimolecular process:
- In unimolecular elimination (E1), a leaving group first detaches itself from a carbon atom, leaving behind a carbocation.
-
- If a single species makes up the transition state, the reaction would be called unimolecular.
-
-
- This will be explained further in the detailed sections on unimolecular and bimolecular forms of nucleophilic substitution.
- In unimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN1), a leaving group is replaced by a nucleophile in a two-step process.
-
-
- As such, a first-order reaction is sometimes referred to as a unimolecular reaction.
-
-
- Amine oxides are not the only functions that undergo a unimolecular syn-elimination on heating.
-
- Unlike the previously described unimolecular isomerizations, this compound is formed by a bimolecular reaction between an electronically excited stilbene and a ground state stilbene molecule.
