4 x 1 hour lessons

This module brings together all the key reactions in organic chemistry and shows how to plan synthetic routes between compounds. You'll revise reaction pathways, reagents, conditions, and functional group transformations, and practise interpreting synthesis questions that require multi-step reasoning. This is the consolidation module that prepares you to tackle high-mark organic questions with confidence.

​

By the end of this module you will be able to:

• Construct detailed reaction maps for organic compounds

• Choose appropriate reagents and conditions to convert one functional group into another

• Identify synthetic routes involving multiple steps

• Recognise and avoid common synthetic pitfalls in exam-style questions

• Justify each stage of a synthesis clearly and logically
