Reaction Mechanisms Course
This course equips you with essential skills in reaction mechanisms for nitration, benzylic oxidation, and acyl substitution. You will learn to predict intermediates, manage side reactions, select safer greener conditions, and enhance yield, selectivity, and reliability in chemistry experiments and scale-up processes.

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. Gain skills to predict side reactions, adjust conditions for better selectivity, incorporate safety and green practices, and confidently design experiments while troubleshooting scale-up issues.
