Hydrocarbons and Halides
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, arenes and alkyl/aryl halides are tested through characteristic reaction mechanisms — Markovnikov/anti-Markovnikov addition, free-radical substitution, electrophilic aromatic substitution and SN1/SN2/E1/E2 pathways. Recognising which mechanism applies from substrate, reagent and conditions is the key exam skill in this chapter.
