Mechanisms in Organic Reactions: Animations


Animations often provide a clearer insight into chemical reactions than a diagram in a book.  I hope the following may be useful. I cannot guarantee that all animations will work on a particular computer, nor can I accept any responsibility for viruses or any other ill effects that viewing these pages may cause.

Chapter 1 What is a Mechanism?
 SN1 reactions
