Title: The effect of an acid & base on a reaction.
Post by: audmars6 on July 27, 2016, 10:42:59 AM

Hello everybody,

I want a single organic chemical equation and how it reacts in acid & base medium with mechanisms.

In other words, the effect of acid and base on an organic chemical equation.

anyway to help me out with this?

Not too sure what you mean by this. Can you post your attempts to clarify?

Maybe something like the enolisation of acetone might be a good starting point, seeing as it can be both acid or base catalysed and the mechanism differs depending on the conditions.
