What are the four mechanistic elements?
o Make a bond between a nucleophile and an electrophile (both must be present) o Break a bond to stable molecules or ions o Add a proton if a strong acid is present or your molecule is a base o Take a proton away if a strong base is present or your molecule is a strong acid
