CHEM1611 - Resources for Week 9
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Spectroscopy
explain the basic principles of a mass spectrometer identify the molecular ion, base peak and daughter ions 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 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 appreciate the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in medical applications
Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives
identify and name simple carboxylic acids give the products from the reaction of a carboxylic acid with a base and recognize that this is a reversible reaction suggest preparation reactions from primary alcohols and from Grignard reagents and CO2 predict the product of the reduction of a carboxylic acid and give the reagents required to perform this reaction identify carboxylic acid derivatives as esters, amides, acid halides and acid anhydrides 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 list the physical properties of fats and oils
