Electrophilic addition
C
Elimination
D
Nucleophilic substitution
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the common types of organic reactions. These typically include electrophilic addition, elimination, and nucleophilic substitution.
Understand the characteristics of each reaction type: Electrophilic addition involves an electrophile attacking a double bond, elimination involves the removal of atoms or groups from a molecule, and nucleophilic substitution involves a nucleophile replacing a leaving group.
Consider the term 'photochemical isomerization'. This involves the rearrangement of molecules under the influence of light, which is less common in basic organic reaction classifications.
Compare 'photochemical isomerization' with the other reaction types. Note that it involves light-induced changes rather than the typical bond-making or bond-breaking processes seen in the other reactions.
Conclude that 'photochemical isomerization' is not a common type of organic reaction compared to the others listed, which are fundamental to organic chemistry mechanisms.
