During nucleophilic substitution reactions, what happens if you take too long and leave the products open (uncapped)?
Why do you have to cap the products for the most of the time?

Dont forget that they get unstable if you leave them "open". Therefore they are susceptible to alternate reactions to gain stability. Therefore you have to cap them to retain them in their original form

O - chem is very confusing yet whilst u focus in college and be taught each and daily, of course do each and all the homework you will desire to be wonderful. Biochem pastimes me for my area that's why I took it and sure is that's far less stressful than O - chem even though it is not person-friendly as an entire. in basic terms practice and do all homework. the superb suggestion i grants you is to appreciate the innovations of chem and bio suitable and study the textbook thoroughly

They get contaminated by things floating in the air if you leave the caps off.

They can get oxidised, free radical reactions can occur.
