4 x 1 hour lessons

This module ties together all of the organic chemistry content into coherent synthetic routes. You’ll learn to devise multistep syntheses, identify reagents and conditions, and use reaction maps to navigate between compound types.

​

By the end of this module you will be able to: • identify reagents and conditions for key functional group transformations • devise synthetic routes involving multiple steps • suggest how to convert between organic compound classes • identify intermediates in synthesis questions • combine reaction mechanisms and conditions into a full synthesis strategy • use synthesis knowledge to solve unfamiliar problems • use knowledge of physical and chemical tests to verify products
