Dissubstitution

Dissubstitution is a chemical process involving the removal of a substituent from a molecule. This process is often used in organic chemistry to modify the structure of a compound, altering its properties and reactivity. Dissubstitution can occur through various mechanisms, including nucleophilic substitution, electrophilic substitution, and radical substitution. In nucleophilic substitution, a nucleophile attacks the molecule, displacing a leaving group. Electrophilic substitution involves an electrophile attacking the molecule, while radical substitution occurs through the formation of radicals. The choice of method depends on the specific molecule and the desired outcome. Dissubstitution is a fundamental concept in chemistry, enabling the synthesis of a wide range of compounds with diverse applications in industry, medicine, and research.
