What will I learn?
Explore nitration, benzylic oxidation, acid chloride formation, and benzamide synthesis step by step. Focus on electron flow, intermediates, and rate-determining steps. Predict side reactions, adjust conditions for better selectivity, incorporate safety and green chemistry principles, and confidently design experiments while troubleshooting scale-up issues.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master electron-flow arrows to map intermediates and rate steps confidently.
- Diagnose and suppress side reactions with mechanism-based strategies.
- Design selective nitration conditions for p-nitrotoluene minimising polynitration.
- Optimise benzylic oxidations to acids avoiding overoxidation and nitro reduction.
- Control acyl chloride and benzamide formation through tuned nucleophilic substitution.
