Oxidative Substitution
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
An oxidative substitution is a substitution in which a ligand in an organic compound is replaced by a metal atom that is oxidized (see oxidation) during the reaction.
eg:
In this substitution, iodine atom in methyl iodide is replaced by a metal, namely, lithium, and lithium is oxidized during the reaction. Thus, this substitution is an oxidative substitution.
