Potpourri of Multiple Reactions

Chapter 7 considered reactions in parallel. These are reactions where the product does not react further. This chapter considers all sorts of reactions where the 

We develop or present the performance equations of some of the simpler systems and point out their special features such as maxima of intermediates.

This chapter, therefore, ends the monograph with a potpourri of reactions all of which occur without a change in oxidation state. In many cases, the reaction is one of nucleophilic attack at an electrophilic C-atom. The result is often hydrolytic bond cleavage (e.g., in carbohydrate conjugates, disubstitut-ed methylene and methine groups, imines, oximes, isocyanates, and nitriles, and various ring systems) or a nucleophilic substitution (e.g., hydrolytic de-halogenation of halocarbons and chloroplatin derivatives, and cyclization reactions). The formation of multiple bonds by dehydration is a special case to be discussed separately.
