•          Substitution e.g. halogenoalkane with aqueous NaOH

•          Elimination e.g. halogenoalkane with ethanolic NaOH

•          Addition-elimination e.g. aldehyde or ketone with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine

This section must explore and interpret the similarities and differences between each of the four mechanisms.
