CHEM1904 - Resources for Week 3
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Alkenes
identify alkene diastereomers as E or Z identify the electrophiles and nucleophiles in a reaction predict the major products obtained from the reaction of alkenes with electrophiles (using Markovnikov's rule) draw structures from IUPAC names
Alkynes
predict the major products obtained from the reaction of alkynes with electrophiles (using Markovnikov's rule)
Aromatic Compounds
explain the special stability of benzene and why it does not react like an alkene explain what is required for a compound to be aromatic and apply Hückel's rule to rings containing heteroatoms draw a mechanism for an SE Ar reaction predict the products for the reaction of benzene with several different electrophiles recognise the important role of aromatic compounds in biology and medicine
