Any chem nerds out there got the inside scoop? I'm looking for well written comparisons of Sn1, Sn2, E1, and E2 organic reactions. Internet links or your own words, whatever's clever. Comparative charts appreciated. Etc. Thanks.

A lot of it can be applied to E1 and E2, but just remember generally bulky nucleophiles (bases) favor elimination and small nucleophiles favor substitution.

Thanks. Looking over your stuff, it's interesting to see what different professors emphasize. Oy, this final! Thankfully, I got a 99 and a 102 (out of 110) on the midterms, so as long as I don't flunk I should be okay. Anyway, thanks again.
