Substitution reactions replace one atom or group with another from "summary" of Organic Chemistry by John E. McMurry

Substitution reactions involve the replacement of one atom or group with another. This type of reaction is common in organic chemistry, where a new atom or group takes the place of an existing one in a molecule. Substitution reactions can occur through various mechanisms, such as nucleophilic substitution, electrophilic substitution, or radical substitution. Nucleophilic substitution reactions involve the attack of a nucleophile on an electrophilic center in a molecule, resulting in the replacement of one group with another. For example, in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophile may replace a leaving group on a carbon atom, leading to the formation of a new compound ...
