CHEM1904 - Resources for Week 5
Topics and Learning Outcomes
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
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
