What will I learn?
This Reaction Mechanisms Course guides you step by step through nitration, benzylic oxidation, acid chloride formation, and benzamide synthesis, emphasising electron flow, intermediates, and rate-determining steps. You will learn to anticipate side reactions, adjust conditions, enhance selectivity, and incorporate safety and green chemistry principles, enabling you to devise robust experiments and resolve scale-up issues with assurance.
