All you need.

When you first have a general question, always remember the internet is a vast general resource.

This is because you haven't looked in any organic chemistry books. Any Organic textbook will have plenty of examples of these reactions.

Read this

I recommend Organic Chemistry - Clayden, Greeves, Warren & Wothers
and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry - Peter Sykes
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate
