Elimination of HX from Haloalkanes

One way to synthesize alkenes is to remove hydrogen halide (HX) from a haloalkane (alkyl halide) in an elimination reaction.

Learn how in AUS-e-TUTE's new tutorial Dehydrohalogenation of Haloalkanes

Classification of Organic Reactions

Organic reactions are reactions in which the reactants and products are carbon-containing compounds, or organic compounds.
The chemical reactions that organic compounds take part in can be classified as:

• substitution reactions
• addition reactions
• elimination reactions
• oxidation reactions
• reduction reactions
• polymerisation reactions
• rearrangement reactions

AUS-e-TUTE has just added new resources including  a tutorial, game and test with worked solutions to help you identify and classify these types of organic reactions. AUS-e-TUTE Members should log-in to use these new resources.

If you are not an AUS-e-TUTE, a free-to-view tutorial is currently available at https://www.ausetute.com.au/organicrxn.html
