CH-acidic Carbonium, etc.

Hi,

I see, that intramolecular charge distribution is very important, the main, feature in organic chemestry, as well as in pharmycology.

To get a coarse overview, could someone hint, which
elements have to be remembered to cover up most of the reaction mechaninisms in org. chem. and what influence they possess for the C-Atom in a molecule.

I´m gonna elaborate further on my own regarding orbitalsenergy levels and electron distribution within those, pka, etc. .

Forget the orbital stuff. Nice in theory but good luck basing your mechanisms on that (except for woodward-hoffman and other light induced reactions).

Get yourself a good book like March's advanced organic chemistry or Organic Chemistry by Clayden, Greeves, Warren and Wothers.
