CHEM1002 - Resources for Week 5
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Stereochemistry
identify stereogenic centres in organic molecules
distinguish between different types of isomers, including enantiomers and diastereomers
use (R )- and (S )- descriptors to describe enantiomers and identify if a compouind has (R )- or (S )- stereochemistry
Organic Halogen Compounds
identify and name organic halogen compounds
predict the products of the elimination of alkyl halides, using Zaitsev's rule, and give the reagents required to perform this reaction
