CHEM1902 - Resources for Week 2
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Structural Determination
explain the basic principles of a mass spectrometer identify the molecular ion, base peak and daughter ions in a mass spectrum derive structural information from a fragmentation pattern in a mass spectrum recognize the isotope distribution characteristic or bromine and chlorine containing compounds in a mass spectrum use the information that IR and UV-visible spectra provide to aid in the determination of structures explain the basic principles of NMR spectroscopy identify the number and type of carbon environments in a molecule and predict the number of signals in a 1 3 C NMR spectrum identify the number and type of hydrogen environments in a molecule and predict the the number of signals in a 1 H NMR spectrum predict the number of hydrogen atoms in each environment from the size of the signals in a 1 H NMR spectrum predict the number of hydrogen atoms on neighbouring atoms from the multiplicity of the signals in a 1 H NMR spectrum determine the structure of a simple compound from spectroscopic data
Organic Mechanisms and Molecular Orbitals
classify the type of reaction occurring identify nucleophiles and electrophiles recognize acidic and basic centres distinguish oxidation from reduction use curly arrows to represent the movement of electrons during reactions
