Topics and Learning Outcomes
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
Identify the products of nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides
determine the nucleophile required to react with an alkyl halide to give a specified product
appreciate that nucleophilic substitution follows two mechanisms and the factors that effect each mechanism
identify a Grignard Reagent and know how to make it
Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers and Thiols
identify and name simple alcohols, diols, triols and phenols
explain why phenols are more acidic than alcohols
predict the products of oxidation of an alcohol and give the reagents required to perform this reaction
explain the nucleophilicity and basicity of alcohols
predict the products of the elimination of alcohols, using Zaitsev's rule, and give the reagents required to perform this reaction
explain the mechanism of dehydration
predict the products of oxidation of a thiol and reduction of a disulfide
