Abstract

Substitution and elimination are considered the most important types of reactions in organic chemistry. Substitution reactions are chemical reactions that involve the replacement of one functional group in a molecule or ion with another functional group. During the substitution, the bond between the functional group and the reactive centre is broken, and a new bond forms between that centre and the new functional group. On the other hand, elimination reactions are a type of organic chemical reaction in which a pair of atoms or groups are removed from a molecule. It is the primary process by which organic compounds with only one carbon-carbon bond (saturated compounds) are converted to compounds with two or three carbon-carbon bonds (unsaturated compounds). It is the primary process by which organic compounds with only one carbon-carbon bond (saturated compounds) are converted to compounds with two or three carbon-carbon bonds (unsaturated compounds).
