Organic synthesis

What this topic asks you to be able to do

  • where one organic molecule contains several functional groups: (a) identify those organic functional groups from the reactions covered in this course (b) predict the molecule's properties and reactions
  • devise synthetic routes of more than one step to make organic molecules, drawing on the reactions covered in this course
  • analyse a provided sequence of reactions, identifying for every stage the reaction category and the reagents involved, together with any side products that may form
