Summary of Generic Electron Sinks

All the electron sinks are summarized in Table 6.1 however, the general reactivity trends are not as clear-cut as they were for electron sources. Generally, look first for 

2 Generic Electron Sink Table Table 6.1 The 18 Generic Electron Sinks 

Leaving groups bound to sp carbon C-L CH3CH2-Br, (CH3)3C-Br, (CH3)2CH-C1,CH3-I Ketals R2C(0CH3)2 (2 poor Ls) 

Polarized multiple bonds without leaving groups (6.4)
