What will I learn?
Gain step-by-step mastery of nitration, benzylic oxidation, acid chloride formation, and benzamide synthesis, emphasising electron flow, intermediates, and rate-determining steps. Develop skills to 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 nitration for selective p-nitrotoluene, minimising polynitration.
- Optimise benzylic oxidations to acids, avoiding overoxidation.
- Control acyl chloride and benzamide formation through tuned substitution.
