CHEM1902 - Resources for Week 4
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Alcohols
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
Amines
recognise and name amines predict the reactivity of amines as bases and nucleophiles appreciate the role played by amines in nature
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 convert between stereo structures and Fischer projections determine the maximum number of isomers possible in a compound with more than one stereogenic centre identify meso compounds and when to expect them
