Here’s the Alkene Reaction Summary Sheet PDF:
Addition to Alkenes Summary Sheet (PDF)
It’s just one of the many useful summary sheets available in the Org 1 Summary Sheets Package.
Do you have an exam on alkene and alkynes coming up? We went through hundreds of exams and hand-picked the most “classic” types of questions you’re likely to see on an exam.

You’ll definitely want to check this out before your exam!
Would you also have a summary sheet for conditions favoring substitution and elimination?
Yes, it’s part of the Organic Chemistry 1 Summary Sheet package.
Thank you! This is awesome!
Awesome website, thank you so much!
Hi again James, how does the Orgo 1 summary sheet differ from the reaction guide? Does the reaction guide give more details as to what is happening in the reactions? Thanks!
Hello James,
Thanks a million for developing this website for so many of us students taking organic chemistry! You put so much time into the website! I should have spent my money on the site’s resources rather than tutoring. I was wondering if you have a summary sheet regarding H-1 and C-13 NMR (spectroscopy) that I could purchase? Thank you x1000000000 :-)
This is wonderful. I’ve been trying to put a sheet like this together but my attempts weren’t half as organized. Thanks :]
Hi,
I didn’t see a summary sheet for substitution vs. elimination reactions. it would be helpful since that’s what i’m learning right now.
Thanks so much! Your notes are really helpful.
Thanks! glad you find them useful
A very nice summary.
I think you might be on the horns of a dilemma, trying to balance adding more and more (advanced)reactions, but still focusing on basic principles.
Given that, how about the thio-ene reaction? It’s a very trendy reaction right now, often mentioned as an alternate “click” reaction. And it can be used for polymerizations.
Thanks for the kind words and suggestion, John. I don’t think I’ll cover anything that’s outside a typical sophomore textbook for quite some time yet…
Sorry, it’s been so long that I don’t even know what’s in the sophomore books anymore without looking. To me, it’s a simple enough (but useful) enough reaction that I don’t look on it as advanced at all.
Brendan,
I feel compelled to point out the obvious about such summary sheets. It’s imperative that you understand the reason why a particular condition tends to yield one mode of reaction over the other.
One method that I’ve found helpful is to take each factor (e.g., carbocation stability) and write a short paragraph explaining how it is relevant to the reaction of interest. You might even want to make a couple of diagrams or drawings to aid in explaining the concept. I found that when I do things like this, I tend to have less difficulties with the subject.
Hope this helps.
A summary sheet for the conditions favoring substitution vs. elimination would be helpful to many as they work through Org I and II.
I’ve prepared one, haven’t put it up yet though. I’d be happy to email you a copy if you like.
Could u pls send me 1 too?.
