Understanding different types of organic reactions is really important, but it can be tough when planning how to make new compounds.

Here are some challenges we face:

• Complex Interactions: There are different types of reactions, like substitution, addition, and elimination. These reactions are connected in complicated ways, which can sometimes lead to surprises in results.

• Predictive Difficulties: Figuring out what will happen in a reaction takes a lot of knowledge. This often means we have to try different things, which can be slow and frustrating.

• Overlapping Mechanisms: Some reactions work in similar ways. This can make it hard to choose the best method.

To tackle these challenges, we can:

• Get better training on how these reactions work.
• Use computer modeling to predict outcomes.
• Plan our approach carefully to improve our chances of success.

These steps can help us design better ways to create new compounds and get the results we want.
