Reaction Mechanisms Course
This course provides in-depth mastery of reaction mechanisms for nitration, benzylic oxidation, acid chloride formation, and benzamide synthesis. Participants learn to track electron flow, predict intermediates and rate-determining steps, manage side reactions, optimize selectivity and yield, and incorporate safety and green chemistry principles for reliable lab experiments and scale-up.
