CHEM1904 - Resources for Week 6
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Aldehydes and Ketones
identify and name simple ketones and aldehydes
explain the mechanism of nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl
predict the products of oxidation and reduction of aldehydes and ketones and give the reagents required to perform these reactions
identify a Grignard Reagent and know how to make it
predict products from Grignard addition to aldehydes, ketones and carbon dioxide
recognize an acetal.
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
predict the product of the reduction of a carboxylic acid and give the reagents required to perform this reaction
recognize the role of long chain fatty acids in soap
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
identify the repeating structural unit of a condensation polymer given the monomers
recognise proteins as polymers of amino acids
explain how primary structure relates to a covalently bonded sequence of amino acids
recognize that secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures result from interactions such as hydrogen bonds within and between protein chains
