Topics and Learning Outcomes Identification of Drugs and Pharmaceuticals  identify the molecular ion, base peak and daughter ions in a mass spectrum  use the information that IR and UV-visible spectra provide to aid in the determination of structures  identify the number and type of hydrogen environments in a molecule and predict the the number of signals in a 1H NMR spectrum  predict the number of hydrogen atoms in each environment from the size of the signals in a 1H NMR spectrum  predict the number of hydrogen atoms on neighbouring atoms from the multiplicity of the signals in a 1H NMR spectrum  determine the structure of a simple compound from spectroscopic data Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives  give the products from the reaction of a carboxylic acid with a base and recognize that this is a reversible reaction  predict the product of the reduction of a carboxylic acid and give the reagents required to perform this reaction  identify carboxylic acid derivatives as acid halides, acid anhydrides, thioesters, esters and amides  give the products obtained upon hydrolysis of these carboxylic acid derivatives  recognize that acid halides are more reactive than esters which are, in turn, more reactive than amides  predict the products that will be formed when a carboxylic acid derivative is treated with an alcohol or amine  give the reagents required for the interconversion of carboxylic acid derivatives Textbook and eBook References Identification of Drugs and Pharmaceuticals - Chapter 20 Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives - Chapter 23 references are to Blackman, Bottle, Schmid, Mocerino and Wille, Chemistry, 2nd Edition, 2012 (John Wiley) Lecture Notes, Tutorial Worksheets & Answers and Suggested Exam Questions You need to login to eLearning to access lecture notes.
