I think it'll be easier if :

1.) You tell us what kind of reactions you're thinking about so we can walk you through them maybe.

2.) You try and rationalise the mechanistic ideas behind each reaction rather than trying to memorise them.

well,, i need to know about the reactions of alcohols and nitrogen compounds.. :smile:

and does tertiary alcohol undergo nucleophilic substitution of CN- ??

Yes it could. However an acid would be needed to catalyse the reaction since OH is a poor leaving group. The H2O+ will then leave as water since it is a good leaving group and then CN- can then attack the carbocation. This would only occur by an SN1 mechanism.
