    Up to this point, we have been focusing on the structure of organic molecules: essentially, how these molecule are put together.  The focus of the text will now shift to the study of their reactivity: what happens, in other words, when covalent bonds within a molecule break and new covalent bonds form, as molecule A is transformed into molecule B. We will certainly review the important fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and kinetics that you learned previously.  But in our discussion of organic reactivity, we will bring our understanding of organic structure into the picture, and think about how reactions take place: which bonds break, which bonds form, why a particular bond breaks or forms, the order in which bond-breaking and bond-forming takes place, and the nature of any intermediate compounds that might form. Taken together, a description of a chemical reaction at this level is called a reaction mechanism.  Beginning here, and continuing throughout the rest of the text, our main job will be to understand the mechanisms of the most important types of reactions undergone by organic molecules.
