Concept Introduction : Substitution reaction is a reaction in which one
1) Nucleophilic 2) Electrophilic 3) Homolytic.
Answer to Problem 3LC
Substitution reactions are important as they form new products.
Explanation of Solution
The functional group is replaced in a substitution reaction to form a new product. For example, the reaction between hydroxide ion and chloromethane gives rise to Methanol.
Here chlorine is a functional group that got replaced with a Hydroxyl ion thus leading to a new product Methanol.
Hence substitution is important in organic chemistry for the production of new chemical compounds.
